When was the last time you attended a meeting where every single person at the table contributed to the discussion? Where discussions were engaging and you left the room with a better understanding of how to move forward as a team? If it’s been a while, then maybe it’s time to try something new and use Backwards Bicycling as the workshop facilitator for your next meeting, team building, training, or conference session. We provide meeting facilitation in Cleveland, the surrounding areas, and are currently offering virtual workshops as well.

What does Backwards Bicycling represent?

​​​​I chose Backwards Bicycling for my business name for a number of reasons and it honestly keeps changing as my business evolves. Too often in business and in life, we get in a rut with our way of thinking. We focus on what we know and sometimes use the same approach over and over, even if it’s not the best way to move forward. Sometimes the only way to move forward, is to first forget what we assume to be the only solution and try something new.

“You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.” Plato
