What Does AMA Offer You?

Life is too short for bad meetings.

Instead, our learning unleashes the 3Es of good meetings:

  • Effectiveness — Clear goals. Real outcomes.
  • Efficiency — No time-wasting.
  • Energy — Everyone engaged, not just occupying a chair.

Leave our training courses with the skills for better programme design, sharper facilitation, and focused participants.

Choose Your Learning Tree

AMA provides four learning trees: paths of training courses that hang together, fit for those who aspire to become exceptional meeting designers; facilitators; managers who excel at intercultural and ESG-related communications; and educators or coaches who design their workshops in an innovative and experiential manner. For all these needs: we've got you covered.

Start anywhere you feel inspired and get empowered by the power of meetings that communicate well. Combine freely as you grow.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Yes. You will receive a Certificate of Completion with full attendance.

For our programmes in Meeting Design and Facilitation, we offer certification if you follow the requisite courses that are part of that particular Learning Tree. Please consult the relevant pages to learn the details about how you can obtain these certifications.

We host our trainings in person. But our instructors will travel. If you want us in your place of business, let us know!

Yes. For our advanced courses, we conduct assessments so that we can guide our learners to the right programme and level, and obtain their certification.

You will learn skills, know-how and attitudes that will allow you to design engaging, goal-oriented programmes for meetings and events. This is useful for anyone using meetings to achieve goals, such as learning, networking, alignment in change processes, etc. So, meeting design is the tool to make all meetings and events better: conferences, congresses, seminars, workshops, strategy meetings, board retreats, management gatherings, project team meetings, town hall meetings, stakeholder meetings, etc.

You will learn the skills to prepare and conduct better meetings in your day-to-day working environment. So, meetings with your department team, with a project team, with outside stakeholders, etc. Facilitation is a skill set that helps you to apply the three Es of good meetings — Effectiveness, Efficiency and Energy — and, as a result, improve ALL your meetings.

Yes! If you own meetings, it is extremely useful to learn and practice the skills to conduct them better. In fact, some participants in our Facilitation Skills training say that every manager should take the programme!

That depends. Here are some scenarios:

If you have taken Facilitation training with Orange Gibbon, we recommend proceeding with F2, The Art of Facilitation.

If you have taken Meeting Design training with Orange Gibbon, our suggestion is to enrol on MD3, the foundation course for aspiring meeting designers.

If you have followed trainings with similar content somewhere else, we recommend starting with F1 or MD1 / MD2. These AMA courses are both introductory and “flagship”; they introduce you to how we think about meetings: how they can be designed and led better, and how the Three E Framework™ helps create meetings that are effective, efficient and energising. They give you the strongest possible foundation for everything that follows.

Enjoy the climb!

Yes! Available course languages are listed on each course page.

Absolutely yes! Actually, this is a very effective pathway towards improving the meetings in your organisation because it helps to create a more productive meeting culture, based on the three Es of good meetings: Effectiveness, Efficiency and Energy.
