Rethink Facilitation: A master course for professionals, educators, and leaders designed to transform boring meetings into seamlessly transformative experiences.
đĄ Introducing Rethink Facilitation course, a totally new way to facilitate meetings, create safe spaces, and manage time and energy so you donât burn out or bore your audience!
And yes, this is for you, especially if you want to stop feeling overwhelmed and suffering from Zoom fatigue, unproductive meetings, and back to back meetings where you are left wondering âWhy am I here?â
Your calendar is packed. You have a lot of important meetings, conversations, and communities to care for. Yet, you are full of energy and excitement because you know every meeting you walk into whether you are the facilitator or participant will be:
Like you, I care about results and delivering long term impact for my clients including Google, Facebook, Dell, NBCUniversal, Johns Hopkins University, Asia Foundation, and PepsiCo. I want to spend my time in meaningful conversations, delivering results, and creating spaces where we can be fully present and engaged. That, as I have learned over the years, takes practice and a lot of self-awareness.
I want to share this secret sauce with you.
Are you in?
I love getting fast results.
But to get the BEST results, Iâve found intentional practice and patience is key. So to learn how to facilitate meaningful and safe spaces for diverse audiences, I practiced, iterated, and honed my craft.
This is how at InnovatorsBox, I traveled globally to provide hundreds of in-person workshops, speaking engagements, and meeting/event/training facilitation for over 8,000 individuals in 20 countries over five years.
My favorite moments are when the audiences share how their experiences with me were the most interactive, fun, productive, and memorable they have participated in! I love meaningful experiences so I love to create them for others!
Initially, like you, I was not sure how I could bring my in-person interactive experiences online.
As I sat in front of a static screen, I was not sure if my participants were engaged or looking at their emails. How can you empower executives when they are in back-to-back calls?Â
I deleted all the video clips I’d recorded of me talking about myself. But I knew how important intentional practice was. Our virtual workplace is here to stay and I know how much weâre all craving to deeply connect as we spend more time online.Â
In six months, I facilitated over 100 workshops, community gatherings, team meetings, global meetups, conferences, strategy meetings, 1:1 executive coaching sessions, and facilitation trainings. Some weeks I facilitated 20-30 hours of meetings for over 150 individuals. The participants left saying my meetings were their favorite rooms to be in because they felt appreciated, engaged, and productive. They said I made 90 minutes feel like 10! Many said they were the best meetings, workshops, and events they ever attended, even pre-COVID19. I was humbled. The results were a direct result of all the hard work I’d put in, and my intention of what I was hoping to create.
I’m so glad my work really resonated with those I serve.
So as I continue to run sessions with 5 to 150+ people, many asked if I’d offer training to help them learn how they, too, can facilitate in a way avoids boredom, decreased productivity, and Zoom fatigue. I love it when participants express how the experiences I create are the most fun and productive they’ve had.
 I want to empower you with the skills and tools that I’ve honed so that you can thrive at creating meaningful gatherings.Â

Professionals, entrepreneurs, executives, students, educators, advocates, and nonprofit leaders who want to learn how to:

"I signed up for Rethink Facilitation PLUS because of frustration with endless corporate meetings and lack of direction. Monica did a wonderful job weaving course material with students' individual experiences. She focuses on journey mapping and helps participants uncover their strengths and weakness to better hone their facilitation skills. What I also enjoy is the co-creating experience with others during the course and at the breakout sessions. I highly recommend this class to anyone who desires to create meaningful communications experience and effective meetings."
- Past Participant
"Monica is extremely insightful and engaging and models how an excellent facilitator should be, being prepared yet flexible, and enthusiastic and energetic. I learned actionable and helpful concepts that will benefit the way I facilitate. I highly recommend taking Monica's Rethink Facilitation course!"
- Past Participant
"Honestly, this Masterclass came when I needed it the most! I have been hosting a series of events called #brunchandselfcare, where I facilitate intimate and vulnerable conversations on everyday topics with a lens of self-care practice. This masterclass has been essential for me to learn how to create a great journey for the participants. Through this learning process, I've been receiving glowing feedback from the participants. Monica is such a rockstar in facilitation, so I am thankful to learn from her."
- Past Participant
" The INTRO session really helped me understand facilitation through a framework. Before this, I was aware of everything I was doing and the little pieces here and there, but having this framework to situate all those moving pieces was helpful!"
- Past Participant
"Super useful for being more thoughtful about online meetings and virtual events."
- Past Participant
"In just one hour, I was so engaged and excited by the idea of a whole new "facilitation" framework that brings more spark, creativity, and engagement to "meetings" that too often feel uninspired, stalled, or repetitive."
- Past Participant
"The Rethink Facilitation MasterClass helped me "rethink" how I conduct meetings, workshops, etc. and made me reflect on my own strengths and weaknesses to be a better facilitator."
- Past Participant
"I enjoyed that it focused on both actionable and theoretical components of facilitating and allowed us as participants to adapt it to best fit our facilitation style to become better facilitators."
- Past Participant
"Very refreshing conversation. Great reminder to remember the "people" factor of meetings. There is so much more than tactical habits that can drive results, collaboration, and impact."
- Past Participant
"The workshop has made me rethink the way we do facilitation. I really love how Monica has explained that the facilitator is a conductor or producer in the meeting, to make sure that the intention is fulfilled but also doing it in a meaningful way. I am so looking forward to the MasterClass!"
- Past Participant
"For a while now I have been questioning my facilitation skill. I knew for sure it wasnât great so when I saw the opportunity I felt it would be worth exploring. I received a Scholarship Discount to attend the facilitation session and I must say I learned a lot and feel empowered and intentional about improving my facilitation skills and style. I feel more confident about facilitation and can't wait to put it to practice."

This is not your typical facilitation course. We are not going to talk about how to put an agenda together. You can easily Google that. To help you master your craft I designed the content to challenge the way you think, feel, and work by focusing on helping you build a new framework. Learning how to change the way you think is not an overnight process but when learning is fun, thoughtful, and implementable then it becomes enjoyable. And like you, I care about getting results.
Dr. Anthony Faucci said on MSNBC that its unlikely life in the U.S. will go back to normal for the unforeseeable future due to the coronavirus. Thatâs probably true for most of us around the world. Mastering rethink facilitation will not just make your work life easier but also all your engagements. I personally use a lot of these frameworks in my life to create space to think, pause, and deeply connect with others.
