I have attended and led numerous meetings. The Meeting Facilitation course gave me a fresh perspective on what makes a meeting effective, with thoughtful guidance on how to overcome challenges and engage participants.

I particularly appreciated the vision and enthusiasm of the AMA team, as well as the practical tools and thoughtful support throughout the course.

The Meeting Design series has fundamentally reshaped my conventional understanding of what a meeting is. A meeting is no longer just routine process management or a periodic status report; rather, it is a precise system of organisational alignment architecture.

By leveraging an outcome-driven framework, meetings move beyond one-way slide presentations. Instead, they accurately translate the complex languages of science, clinical practice, and finance, transforming seemingly conflicting perspectives into high-quality, integrated strategic decisions.

The structured facilitation techniques taught in the curriculum have helped me break through deeply entrenched departmental silos, establish a unified risk-response framework, and accelerate the commercialisation pathway of cell manufacturing from the laboratory to the market.

I firmly believe this is far more than a technical course on running meetings; it is a masterclass in optimising executive decision-making and driving innovation to execution. I highly recommend that any leader facing cross-border communication and transformational challenges experience this profound cognitive shift firsthand!

I walked into the workshop feeling drained and uninspired, but left reenergized, full of passion, and equipped with fresh ways of thinking.

If you’ve been feeling burned out at work lately, Mike’s Meeting Design Course is exactly the kind of experience that can help you reset.

Sometimes, all it takes is the right conversation and the right reminder to reignite the passion you once had for creating meaningful meetings.

Highly recommend!

Supporting clients and diverse stakeholders to move toward meaningful and effective action is at the core of my work. In my fields of sustainability, design strategy, and service design, facilitation is not just a “nice-to-have” skill; it is a critical capability for truly clarifying problems and enabling real change. Yet, facilitation is inherently difficult to master through passive, static learning.

Mike's Meeting Facilitation Workshop takes a completely different approach. There are no rigid, information-heavy slides—only hands-on practice, rich interaction, real-time feedback, and peer learning. Through this, I didn’t just learn techniques; I learned how to design a facilitation process that is logical, adaptive, and well-paced, with clear alignment to the underlying goals.

What I found most valuable is Mike’s “show, not tell” approach. Throughout the workshop, I was able to directly experience the atmosphere of facilitation, how to hold the space, and how to truly understand participants—even down to the subtle nuances that often make or break a project or meeting outcome.

Truly a rewarding experience.

Mike's workshop changed how I think about how people learn, share, and come together. It moved me beyond simply setting objectives and agendas, and toward designing for impact by considering energy and flow. The hands-on activities made the concepts click in a way that theory never did.

Between “knowing” and “truly learning”, there is still a distance that each of us has to travel for ourselves. What made the course so valuable was that it did not simply feed us information in a one-way manner.

By breaking free from rigid meeting formats, I was finally able to help meeting participants become truly engaged.

I have participated in the Meeting Facilitation and Meeting Design programs several times, and I have also taken courses in cross-cultural communication and online facilitation, among many others. Each experience brought different insights. The courses helped me understand that a meeting is not just about “holding a meeting,” but rather a process that can be intentionally designed and facilitated to foster interaction and connection among people.

Programs that will prove useful and fruitful for literally EVERYONE! I’ve attended various sessions offered by both Mike and Eric. Your time will overflow with Ah-ha moments and exhilarating learning. Practice right away numerous skills in event planning, public speaking and communications and make them part of your personal toolset. Do yourself a favor: simply register and you won’t regret it!
