Why Pat?
Patrick McGaughey offers more than someone who can just facilitate a planning session, especially a Chamber of Commerce, an industry association or Non-Profit Organization planning session. In most cases, Pat is asked to be a Facili-Trainer making the planning retreat a learning event to help engage volunteers as well as facilitating the new plan.
Pat also utilizes his copyrighted Ex.L.A.R.G.E. Planning Analysis instead of the standard SWOT analysis. Where SWOT planning sessions end on ‘Threats,’ your planning session will end on Goals and the Execution of those goals.
