Workshop Moderation and Meeting Facilitation
“I have to“… we certainly agree: positive anticipation is certainly something very different. And if we are honest: We´ve all said this phrase in this way on more than one occasion. Why? Because negative experiences with meetings have turned them into an unwelcome obligation for us, which we unfortunately feel, far too often, is a waste of time.
Yet meetings offer us something completely different from their fundamental idea: the opportunity for creative exchange and enriching discussions, and thus ultimately the potential to develop new ideas together in a team that can make all the difference!

Ignite creative fireworks
Anyone who structures meetings in such a way that they are perceived as enriching by all participants will ignite creative fireworks in their meetings.
On the way to positively perceived meetings, the first step is therefore to find out what causes us to simply switch off at some point. Long-winded presentations are one important reason. Excessively long and frequent speeches by “opinion leaders” are another. If discussions then go round in circles or are even aimlessly beaten around the bush, the participants must inevitably feel that a meeting is a waste of time. And then they switch off. This happens particularly quickly in online meetings, which require a special degree of structure, self-discipline and attention.
A few basic principles are called for to ensure that your (online) meetings and workshops can be used positively and efficiently even under the greatest individual deadline pressure:
- Good preparation
- Methodical control of the meeting process
- And above all: clear objectives!
Only by taking this approach, can meetings lead to concrete, desired results!
Successful moderation
Moderation methods that are interactive, that motivate participation and activate group/team work and reflection are of fundamental importance for efficient meetings. And very important: Meetings must also lead to decisions! Good facilitation must always keep emotions in mind, because the right motivation leads to increased attention and concentration and thus an increase in the performance of all participants. This also applies, if not in such a major way, to online formats such as web conferences, web meetings and other online sessions.
Always the right tool
Reaching the goal together
Successful moderation – on-site or digital
We support you in selecting your most appropriate moderation tools so that you always achieve your set goals in your meetings. To do this, we highly recommend the following three principles:
- Good preparation is the be-all and end-all
It is important to clarify the task, the goals of the event and the relevant interests of the participants in advance and to develop an adequate moderation concept.
- Learning and improving
By jointly reflecting on the course of the event, we derive learnings and opportunities for improvement.
- Make a lasting impact
Through joint transfer process, you can subsequently integrate and use the methods used in your professional environment and in your daily life.
