Building healthy university, company, & organizational cultures

one conversation at a time.

I’m Annie Caplan Founder, Speaker, & Facilitator

I’ve spent the last decade sitting with people in lecture halls, libraries, businesses, organizations, and communities across the country to talk about what matters most.

I bring my extensive background in facilitation, mindfulness, and education to help groups listen deeply, speak honestly, and collaborate effectively.

I believe that when we slow down, stay present, and make space for all voices, we create communities where everyone can thrive.

That’s why I started Around the Table Talks.

In order to create a better tomorrow, we must put in the work today. If you are ready to join me in this pursuit, there is no better time than now.

Come take a seat at the table—all are welcome here.
