As a Certified Structured Professional Facilitator (CSPF), lead instructor, and managing director of MG RUSH Facilitation Training and Coaching, Terrence Metz is passionate about training students to lead meetings that produce clear and actionable results every time!

In addition to earning his MBA from Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management, his professional certifications include a Six Sigma Green Belt from Motorola University, Scrum Master (CSM) from the Scrum Alliance, Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO), and How To Teach Online (HTTO) Certification from the Open Leadership Network, among other certifications.

Terrence’s professional experience has focused on mergers, organizational design, problem solving, process improvement, product development, and strategic planning. He also has P&L experience in highly engineered products and services (Honeywell, for example).

He has taught classes on facilitation and leadership with the Broad Institute (a research venture of Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University), Purdue University, the University of Arkansas (Sam Walton School of Business), and instructors from the Stanford University Advanced Project Management Program (who wedged in his five-day professional class between Christmas and New Year’s), along with numerous private organizations and departments of local and federal governments.

His decision-making tools for galvanizing consensus, including Perceptual Mapping and Quantitative TO-WS Analysis, are used worldwide. In 2004, he introduced the concept of holism to the field of structured facilitation as a method for keeping discussions on target, aligning deliverables within and throughout an organization, and creating traction for facilitators to lead meetings that get results.

Having taught over 300 classes and more than 3,000 students, Terrence is a talented instructor, focused listener, and equally adept at both teaching the MG Rush Facilitation Training curriculum and at facilitating consensual agreement around important and challenging issues for groups, organizations, and teams.
