Our Company

What if everyone could facilitate?

Facilitators are trained in group process, time management, experiential learning, and workplace psychology. None of these skills should be exclusive to facilitators—facilitation skills are life skills that belong in the hands of every professional.

MeetingMakers is both a facilitation practice and a community. As a practice, we offer in-house workshops, meeting coaching and expert facilitation. We work with you as facilitators or design partners to design and deliver inclusive, engaging and productive meetings with lasting impact. As a community, we provide training through our academy, conversation through our Facebook group and ongoing learning through our podcast to help you lead successful meetings yourself. No matter how you work with us, once you do, you’re a “MeetingMaker”—someone who believes that better meetings lead to mission success.

Our mission is to help you achieve yours, starting with how you meet.

We might not be saving the world, but we’re helping those who do meet better so they can.

Once Upon a Marker

MeetingMakers founder Lauren Green started her professional journey as a performing artist. After transitioning from the stage to the corporate world, she became fascinated by how organizations work and workplace dynamics.

Lauren made a name for herself as a visual notetaker, specializing in the use of visuals to support group processes. She founded Dancing with Markers, LLC in 2017—a team of visual notetakers who specialize in the art of meeting and conference visualization. As a visual notetaker, Lauren partnered with many facilitators and learned that facilitation is not a magic trick—it’s a skill set that individuals, teams and organizations can use to work more effectively, meet their goals, and serve their customers and communities.
