Group Sizes: We can accommodate groups of all sizes, with 3-5 people at each table. We work with you to develop a strategy to form the groupings.
Timing: The abridged version runs for 1.5 hours. The expanded version runs for 2.5-3 hours. Hosting the conversation experience before a lunch or social hour can be an especially powerful combination, since it’s common for participants to want to continue interacting.
Event Planning: To hire us to facilitate your event, we suggest a minimum of 3 months' notice. Occasionally, we can accommodate requests with less notice.

Client Testimonial
Marisa Lopez, Associate Director of Workforce & Economic Development
"I recently had the opportunity to test out the ‘Who You Are Matters!’ game facilitated by Erica Mattison with my staff. Even though we're a small group who work closely together, it was a powerful tool for sharing feedback, encouraging goals, and growing together as a supportive, communicating team.
We knew instantly that it would resonate equally well to the community of professionals we serve in our programming, so we held a special event and about 30 job seekers were able to engage with the game and Erica's masterful facilitation.
People of all ages and backgrounds loved feeling heard, supported, and safely challenged through the activities' opportunities for reflection and structured conversation. Nobody wanted the event to end! We look forward to inviting Erica back for another event soon!"
