Public Involvement & Facilitation

At TeleDirections, our ability to clearly communicate complex information in a compelling and strategic way, motivates and influences others to act.

Through our specialized Public Involvement and Facilitation program, we inform, educate, and enlighten your audiences. Together we listen, question, challenge, and learn. Along the way, we foster self-discovery and collaboration among participants, in a dynamic and memorable way.

We know how to tell a clear story and persuade your audiences to take action. We understand how to find common ground with stakeholders and to build coalitions to support ambitious goals.

strategies that we have been able to formulate and promote cost-effective development infrastructure here in Sarasota.” Stephen Long, Sarasota Real Estate Developer

"I remember one meeting he transformed into a talk show format with three timely topics of three guests each on a stage in a “theater in the round” format. His on stage leadership, audience engagement and management of the entire event as its facilitator was remarkable and became the model for future events.” Steve Evans, former IBM State Executive for Florida
