“I assert that your primary responsibility as a facilitator is to keep people breathing in the face of their greatest fears - including rejection, not knowing, being wrong, losing something, and the future. And you do it for the sake of what the people you collaborate with want most: change, possibility, connection, revelation, clarity, purpose, futures. ”
Facilitation Offerings
Most often, my client relationships span months or even years, iterating to be most responsive to emerging needs. A project can (and often does) include all of the offerings below, though I am open to shorter-term projects with more limited scope.
I value rigorous and creative collaboration with both my clients and fellow consultants. I often consult in partnership with other trusted facilitators, creators, artists and activists.
Process Design and Facilitated Space
Many groups benefit from an external facilitator to establish a shared vision, build community, or make key decisions. I create the needed space for teams to push their practice closer to their values. Through engaging organizational retreats or meeting spaces, I can help your team move into greater alignment with one another and with its purpose.
Leadership Coaching
With a specific focus on equity, power, and identity, my coaching can help organizational leaders shift ineffective and harmful power dynamics to build engagement and collaboration among their team. I help leaders focus on the power of the collective, embrace experimentation, and lead with a bold vision.
Organizational Systems Design
I often meet my clients on the precipice of a change, whether that be a culture change, a structural change, or a leadership change. As we embrace change, our organizational systems need to adapt too. My work supports organizations in becoming more responsive to the cycle of change: from building a foundation of trust, to collaborative design, to practicing generative conflict, to emergence and iteration (and back again!).
