Picture this:
Your calendar is packed with important meetings, conversations, and communities to care for. But imagine approaching each one, whether you're leading or participating, full of energy and excitement because you know every interaction will be:
- Interactive and energetic,
- Started and ended on time,
- Guided by clear intentions and meaningful action steps,
- Safe for all participants to feel heard and appreciated, and
- Fun for you as the host because you are not overwhelmed or have a stage fright!
Imagine spending more time in these meaningful moments, not just occasionally, but every single day!
Like you, I'm driven by results and committed to delivering long-term impact for clients like Google, Facebook, Dell, NBCUniversal, Johns Hopkins University, Asia Foundation, and PepsiCo. I want to devote my time to impactful conversations, achieving tangible results, and fostering spaces where we can all be fully present and engaged. Achieving that, as I've learned over the years, requires consistent practice and deep self-awareness.
The key is to rethink how you facilitate.
I want to share this secret sauce with you.
Hi! I’m Monica H. Kang.
I love getting fast results, but I’ve found that delivering the best results truly hinges on intentional practice and patience. That’s why I’ve tirelessly honed my craft to facilitate meaningful and safe spaces for diverse audiences.
This dedication led to incredible opportunities: through InnovatorsBox, I spent ten years traveling globally, conducting hundreds of in-person workshops, speaking engagements, and facilitating for over 8,000 individuals across 20 countries. Nothing makes me happier than when participants tell me their experience was the most interactive, fun, productive, and memorable they’ve ever had! I’m passionate about creating meaningful experiences, and it’s what I love to do.
Then COVID-19 arrived.
Initially, like many, I wasn't sure how to bring my interactive experiences online. Sitting in front of a static screen, I wondered if participants were engaged or checking emails. How could I empower executives stuck in back-to-back calls? I even deleted early video clips of myself, but I knew the importance of intentional practice. Our virtual workplace is here to stay, and I understand how much we all crave deep connection online.
So, I iterated and practiced. I transformed from an "online-fear zombie" into an "online-safe space maker."
In just six months, I facilitated over 100 workshops, community gatherings, team meetings, global meetups, conferences, strategy sessions, 1:1 executive coaching, and facilitation trainings. Some weeks I led 20-30 hours of meetings for over 150 individuals.
Facilitating with intention made a difference.
Participants consistently left saying my meetings were their favorite rooms to be in, feeling appreciated, engaged, and productive. They told me I made 90 minutes feel like 10, and many even said these were the best meetings, workshops, and events they'd ever attended—even pre-COVID! I was truly humbled. These results were a direct outcome of hard work and a clear intention of what I aimed to create.
As I continue to run sessions for 5 to 150+ people, many have asked if I'd offer training to help them avoid boredom, decrease unproductive meetings. I love when participants express how fun and productive the experiences I create are.
This is why I created this online course for you. I want to empower you with the skills and tools I’ve honed so you can thrive at creating meaningful gatherings—whether online or offline.

Why 100+ past participants said the course was invaluable and effective. And why will you too:
Stopped Being Frustrated
"I signed up for Rethink Facilitation PLUS because of frustration with endless corporate meetings and lack of direction. Monica did a wonderful job weaving course material with students' individual experiences. She focuses on journey mapping and helps participants uncover their strengths and weakness to better hone their facilitation skills. What I also enjoy is the co-creating experience with others during the course and at the breakout sessions. I highly recommend this class to anyone who desires to create meaningful communications experience and effective meetings."
- Past Participant
Extremely insightful and Engaging (Even Online!)
"Monica is extremely insightful and engaging and models how an excellent facilitator should be, being prepared yet flexible, and enthusiastic and energetic. I learned actionable and helpful concepts that will benefit the way I facilitate. I highly recommend taking Monica's Rethink Facilitation course!"
- Past Participant
Learned How to be a Rockstar
"Honestly, this Masterclass came when I needed it the most! I have been hosting a series of events called #brunchandselfcare, where I facilitate intimate and vulnerable conversations on everyday topics with a lens of self-care practice. This masterclass has been essential for me to learn how to create a great journey for the participants. Through this learning process, I've been receiving glowing feedback from the participants. Monica is such a rockstar in facilitation, so I am thankful to learn from her."
- Past Participant
Even INTRO Saved Me
" The INTRO session really helped me understand facilitation through a framework. Before this, I was aware of everything I was doing and the little pieces here and there, but having this framework to situate all those moving pieces was helpful!"
- Past Participant
Super Insightful
"Super useful for being more thoughtful about online meetings and virtual events."
- Past Participant
Enlightening Framework
"In just one hour, I was so engaged and excited by the idea of a whole new "facilitation" framework that brings more spark, creativity, and engagement to "meetings" that too often feel uninspired, stalled, or repetitive."
- Past Participant
Rethink Power
"The Rethink Facilitation MasterClass helped me "rethink" how I conduct meetings, workshops, etc. and made me reflect on my own strengths and weaknesses to be a better facilitator."
- Past Participant
Action + Theory = Magic like results!
"I enjoyed that it focused on both actionable and theoretical components of facilitating and allowed us as participants to adapt it to best fit our facilitation style to become better facilitators."
- Past Participant
Refreshing in Everyway
"Very refreshing conversation. Great reminder to remember the "people" factor of meetings. There is so much more than tactical habits that can drive results, collaboration, and impact."
- Past Participant
Fulfilled Meaningfulness
"The workshop has made me rethink the way we do facilitation. I really love how Monica has explained that the facilitator is a conductor or producer in the meeting, to make sure that the intention is fulfilled but also doing it in a meaningful way. I am so looking forward to the MasterClass!"
- Past Participant
Empowered and Gained Confidence
"For a while now I have been questioning my facilitation skill. I knew for sure it wasn’t great so when I saw the opportunity I felt it would be worth exploring. I received a Scholarship Discount to attend the facilitation session and I must say I learned a lot and feel empowered and intentional about improving my facilitation skills and style. I feel more confident about facilitation and can't wait to put it to practice."

More reasons to join us now, not tomorrow:
1. You will laugh, pause, and get results:
This is not your typical facilitation course. We are not going to talk about how to put an agenda together. You can easily Google that. To help you master your craft I designed the content to challenge the way you think, feel, and work by focusing on helping you build a new framework. Learning how to change the way you think is not an overnight process but when learning is fun, thoughtful, and implementable then it becomes enjoyable. And like you, I care about getting results.
2. We're gonna work online for a while:
Dr. Anthony Faucci said on MSNBC that its unlikely life in the U.S. will go back to normal for the unforeseeable future due to the coronavirus. That’s probably true for most of us around the world. Mastering rethink facilitation will not just make your work life easier but also all your engagements. I personally use a lot of these frameworks in my life to create space to think, pause, and deeply connect with others.
