Testimonials
“In a word, wow. We could have done multiple advisory boards with stakeholders and it wouldn’t have been as effective as this workshop. Huge applause for Mark and his team. The facilitators were awesome.”

“I’ve participated in many online meetings, but the NESDIS Mind Meeting Workshop was a high point in my virtual working experience. I credit a lot of that to the expert planning and facilitation of the event.”

“There’s no playbook for a pandemic. In mid-2020, our healthcare nonprofit needed a strategy to prepare our team for a wide variety of scenarios – a strategy that everyone bought into, from senior leaders to frontline workers. Mark and the Mind Meeting Group team helped us frame the complex challenge we were facing and tackle it – fast. This workshop put us months ahead of where we otherwise would be. We got the pandemic playbook we needed.”
Mila Ray-Daniels
CEO, Head Injury Rehabilitation Ontario
“When I became the CEO of Cymax, our company already had a good story to tell. But I knew that we had the potential to become a great story. Mark helped me to frame an ambitious challenge that I wanted our company to achieve, and then align my leadership team around a strategy for making it happen. We also got a communication plan to help us engage our employees, board of directors, and business partners in the strategy. It worked. Working with Mind Meeting helped us lay the foundation for an 81% revenue increase in just three years.”
