What This Revenue Model Is

A leadership team is holding its fourth quarterly offsite that ends with a slide deck nobody will open, decisions that were almost made, and a team that leaves more aligned in the room than they will be by Thursday. The problem is not the team. The problem is that nobody designed the conversation.

A day rate for facilitation, premium for design.

The fee covers the day in the room plus the design behind it. Custom executive work commands the top of the range, but every dollar is tied to your presence.

Strategic-planning facilitators commonly charge $2,500 to $7,500 a day, recognized experts $10,000+, and full executive retreat programs $10,000 to $70,000.

Benchmarked to 2024-2026 facilitation data (Futurists Speakers, Action Learning Associates, Naboo).

Evidence tier: Modeled. Figures are modeled estimates, not observed results. Ranges are illustrations of how the model prices, not predictions of your results.
