Facilitator

 

 

When you hear the words “corporate facilitation” you probably don’t immediately think “super-happy-fun-times-a-go-go!” but that’s exactly what I aim for with every facilitation I present.

  • My improv background (and a strength for individualization) allow me to provide a 100% custom experience for every participant.
  • My coach training helps me go deep with the group and challenge everyone to grow while catering to their preferred learning and communication style.
  • My experience as a storyteller helps me to capture the audience and make sure that everyone hears and understands all the concepts without being rigid or boring.

Whether you’re working on your team dynamics, diving into your strengths with StrengthsFinder, planning for the upcoming year, coming together for an off-site, or trying to spice up some of your existing training offerings – I’ll make sure you and your team leave feeling energized and happy rather than counting down the minutes till the next bathroom break. Get your strategic insights and “aha moments” without sacrificing the energy and the fun!

You can check out a smattering of workshops I have ready to roll here in my speaker packet and I’m always eager to make the most out of your existing training modules if you’re looking for a trainer on a more contract basis. Let me help you look good in front of your boss with a rockstar training session for even the most discerning audiences.

Amanda

Director of Learning

Strother was the perfect combination of credible, engaging, professional, and genuine. Everyone walked away from the workshop with great strategies they could apply right away. I will not hesitate to work with Strother again!

Camilla

Director / APHE Strategy and Outreach

Strother Gaines is an excellent facilitator who guided our team through a deeper dive into our strengths, which helped us to recognize key elements that we have in common as a group. He provided tips and insight into maximizing our strengths, such as how to use them to fine-tune our own personal brand. He was a valuable guide who gave us the tools to tap into our strengths.

Suzanne

Director / HE Academic Policy

I found Strother engaging and approachable. He put the strengths in context (which of course, I loved!) across the whole team. The perspective and insight he shared really took the strengths to a new level for me. I find them much more meaningful and appreciate the insight I now have about my colleagues.

Cathy

Senior Director / APHE Academic Relations

Strother made the topic very approachable. And given that team-building activities can lend themselves to discussing stressful situations (like personal communication styles, etc), he also made the entire session feel very safe. He was flexible and humorous while also being laser focused on the session outcomes.

Lisa

Founder / Lead Through Strengths

He pulls off the perfect blend of professionalism and entertainment so that the concepts stick. He brings both substance AND panache.
