Expert Support for Tranformational Meeting and Event Outcomes
The cornerstone of Krios Consulting’s reputation has come from providing effective and thoughtful facilitation for meetings, retreats, and other stakeholder gatherings. We are often called in to assist organizations with conversations leading to a better understanding of how to move forward with strategies. Whether assessing a business case or diving into soft-skills in relation to employee engagement, Krios has a track-record of providing solid, unflinching, guidance through facilitation, coaching, and meeting design.
Krios founder and principal consultant, Bill Palladino, takes pride in the company’s guided and impactful facilitation practice. Krios consultants are trained in the Liberating Structures methodology.
Liberating Structures are easy-to-learn microstructures that enhance relational coordination and trust. They quickly foster lively participation in groups of any size, making it possible to truly include and unleash everyone. Liberating Structures are a disruptive innovation that can replace more controlling or constraining approaches.
Grateful
Logic™
POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY IN THE WORKPLACE
Since 2017, Krios Consulting has dedicated the bulk of our time to the science of positive psychology and the work of NY Times best selling author and researcher Shawn Achor. Through a unique partnership with Achor and the International Thought Leader Network (ITLN) we have helped to pioneer presenting this groundbreaking work in keynote addresses, workshops, and coaching all over the globe.
Our own program using the science of positive psychology, GRATEFUL LOGIC™, brings together the research of Shawn Achor, Barbara Fredrickson, Sonja Lyubormirsky, Martin Seligman and others to create a highly engaging and effective cultural refresh from the perspective of employee happiness and wellbeing.
These linked pages help to explore the practice and discipline of positive psychology.

Logic™
A PRACTICE FOR UNDERSTANDING ETHICS in the WORKPLACE
Ethical Logic™ represents our latest deep dive into an important subject for businesses, organizations, and governments. Every organization must have a clearly defined set of values and help employees match those values for themselves.
This program examines ethics from a personal and organizational perspective, providing a process for understanding our own ethical values and how they interact with those of the organization where we work.

Change Management & Execution
