Stop Winging It. Design Meetings That Get Results.
You send a calendar invite with "Meeting: Project X Discussion" and hope for the best. Ninety minutes later, you've had a lively conversation but no decision. Three people dominated the discussion. Two people never spoke. You're scheduling a follow-up meeting to "continue the conversation."
Sound familiar?
Most professionals wing their meetings. They show up, start talking, and hope something productive happens. When meetings fail, they blame "meeting culture" or "difficult people"—never the lack of intentional design.
💪 Great meetings don't happen by accident. They're designed.

An Unconventional Learning Experience to Prepare You for the Real World
A hands-on, high-energy workshop for anyone who leads meetings, workshops, trainings, or conversations that actually need to go somewhere. You’ll learn how to design engagement on purpose, read the room in real time, and guide groups toward clarity, alignment, and action—without being controlling, awkward, or exhausting.
👉Acquire frameworks and tools, and application modules
👉Apply what you've learned to your real meetings with expert feedback
The Meeting Failure Framework: The real reasons meetings fail (lack of clear outcome, wrong participants, poor time management, misaligned engagement strategies, weak opening/closing, no decision authority, no follow-through mechanism)
The Blueprint to conduct a "meeting autopsy" to identify what went wrong and why
The Blueprint to distinguish the differences between symptoms (people multitasking) and root causes (no clear outcome established)
Pattern recognition checklist: common failure modes across different meeting types
Analyze 3 real meeting scenarios in small groups
Identify which of the 7 factors caused each meeting to fail
Diagnose a recent failed meeting from your own experience
Share findings with the full group and discuss patterns
You can't fix what you can't diagnose. Most people blame "bad meeting culture" or "difficult personalities" without identifying the structural design flaws. This framework gives you diagnostic clarity.
In this workshop, you’ll learn how to stop meetings before they start—and redesign the ones that actually matter.
Not Your Average Trainer
Master of Engagement & Impact
🔥 Kim Brainard takes an unconventional approach to engagement—and believes you can too. She’s the Founder of Agile Brain Group and on a mission to end the pandemic of bad meetings.
Kim challenges the idea that facilitation is about agendas, slides, or polite participation. She believes running the room is a leadership skill—and most people were never taught how to do it.
Her work replaces passive learning and predictable meetings with immersive, high-engagement experiences that demand presence, clarity, and intention. Kim doesn’t teach from the front of the room—she designs it. Every session is customized, experiential, and built to make learning stick.
Through her Explore, Experiment, Educate, Empower approach, leaders, coaches, and executives don’t just learn new tools—they learn how to command the room without dominating it.
If you’re ready to stop surviving meetings and start leading them, Kim Brainard shows you how.
