Facilitate Momentum.

Not just meetings. Not just ideas.

Join a network that’s reimagining how progress gets made.

Help teams find clarity, traction, and aligned momentum—in 90 minutes. PopUpThinkTank sessions move ideas into action. We’re building a network of coaches, consultants, and fractional leaders to deliver them. But here’s the thing: we don’t ask anyone to facilitate something they haven’t experienced. So your first step isn’t an application. It’s an invitation.

This is the first step toward becoming a paid facilitator.

Who This Is For


Think:
Executive Coaches. Strategy Consultants. OD/OE Pros. Fractional CMOs. DEI Practitioners. Innovation Catalysts. Professionals who know how to hold space—and move things forward.

You’re already doing meaningful work. This helps amplify it.
You don’t need to ditch your brand or pivot your identity. We’re not asking for exclusivity. We’re inviting alignment.

This network is for independent professionals who:
✔ Facilitate conversations in complex environments
✔ Design change or innovation strategically
✔ Support leaders and teams in constant transition

FOR STARTUPS, SOCIAL IMPACT, AND CORPORATE PROJECTS

Why Facilitate a PopUpThinkTank?

💸 Yes, You’re Paid.
Facilitators are compensated per session—while keeping full ownership of their business and professional identity.

💥 Grow Your Work, Not Just Your Network.
Many facilitators build deeper client relationships, land follow-on work, or use the format as a strategic tool within existing engagements.

🤝 Join a Values-Aligned Community
This is not a course, funnel, or certification hustle. It’s a high-integrity network of practitioners helping organizations move forward—together.

What Makes a ‘Think Tank’ Session Different?

Most think brainstorming is about new ideas. We think it’s about generating momentum.

PopUpThinkTank is a 90-minute ideation format designed for no-pressure participation, high trust, and real outcomes.

It’s not a workshop.
It’s not a webinar.
It’s a facilitated leap forward for a leader and 30+ thinkers.

When clients co-create sessions with us, they get alignment, traction, and insight—in a single burst. And when facilitators lead those sessions, they bring both structure and spark.

3 Simple Design Principles

  • Max Value in Minimal Time

    🧭 Tight structure, expansive outcomes
    → Creativity loves constraints. A compressed 90-minute session—but with pacing, clarity, and purposeful transitions creates space for expansive thought. The result: sharp focus without fatigue, and momentum without dilution.

  • Participation Without Pressure

    🧩 Multiple ways to show up.
    → We designed for contribution without obligation. Insight rounds and breakout moments offer space for different voices to enter—without requiring everyone to speak to the whole group. This supports inclusion, honors psychological safety, and invites both introverts and extroverts to meaningfully engage.

  • Momentum Over Resolution

    ⚡ Design for movement, not final answers.
    → We don’t push for consensus. Instead, we generate energy, alignment, and individual-level next steps. A closing engagement survey captures what stuck, what sparked, and what’s next—so teams leave with traction, not just discussion.

First Step → Join a Session

This isn’t a test. There’s no pressure to perform. Before you apply, we want you to experience what a PopUpThinkTank is like—so you can decide if it's a good fit for your business goals.

Upcoming sessions include live public PopUpThinkTanks and the occasional Curiosity Crash. Fast-paced. Smart people. Real progress. No pitch. No pressure. Just participation (if you want).
