Facilitating the path from aspiration to innovation
I'm a designer & facilitator
of Leadership Events
A talent for uniting teams,
designing progress, and facilitating memorable experiences.
I was instrumental in setting up Deloitte's Human Capital Practice, developing InterPublic's Creative Talent Pool and facilitating Center for Creative Leadership programmes.
Before all that, I was into skateboarding, studied industrial design and design thinking.at Pratt, was on Frank Gehry's team at Knoll and designed museums in my native New York.
These days, I focus on facilitating the issues that top teams face. This work is based on my Dialogue Experiments and publications about Stimulating Conversation and transforming group culture.
I was on the board of the International Association of Facilitators (IAF) for 4 years and then hosted the Facilitation Impact Awards for 5 years, establishing it as the gold standard in facilitation. I also write about engagement, dialogue and teamwork.
Based in Bali, with my French wife. Two kids – one with us, and one in Europe where we spent 30 years. A reformed New Yorker, comfortable almost anywhere. Curious everywhere. Into art, travel and tending to my mangoes and lemongrass.
Facilitating Your Strategic Meeting
When leaders need alignment on direction, strategy, or ways of working, Jeffer helps you get there — fast and thoughtfully. He facilitates LEADERSHIP RETREATS where all voices contribute to progress on pressing issues. Behind-the-scenes tensions, politics, or egos? He provides a neutral, confidential space where executive teams find shared clarity, deeper debate, better decisions, and greater impact.
Bringing Your People Together
Motivation, inclusion, synergy — when engagement clicks, it feels like magic. It’s actually the art of group-process facilitation. Jeffer designs and hosts LARGE-GROUP EVENTS that spark dialogue, sensemaking, and team connection. Each session is custom-built to your goals, often becoming a turning point for those involved. Many have won awards; all inspire collective action.
Visualising What You Want to See More Clearly
Getting things done together — it’s an age-old dilemma, a space of constant change, and is easier when everyone can see the same page. Jeffer creates VISUAL TOOLS so teams can better see, understand and facilitate their own progress — from conversation guides and meeting rituals, to brainstorm frameworks and reflection kits — the illustrative aspect is central to the programmes Jeffer customizes to fit your brand and culture.
