Facilitation

I use participative design processes to create opportunities for leaders, groups, and organizations to articulate their desired and achievable futures with self-managed plans to move toward them.

I help clients surface questions or concerns related to change and future action, identify new strategies or focused direction, and hold in-depth dialogue over issues that may be preventing progress. These structured events generate shared understanding and stimulate participation and accountability for creating and implementing needed organizational solutions.

Assessment

An assessment can help you determine if mediation, facilitation, training or other consensus-building processes would be appropriate.

I begin by learning about the unique culture, issues and group dynamics of our client. I partner with our sponsor to design an appropriate intervention strategy based on perceived issues and the intervention goals.

I use various approaches to learn about our client's environment, such as structured interviews, surveys, targeted discussions and group facilitations

Capacity Building

After assessing the environment and gaining perspective on the issues, I work with my client to design how we will work together. Capacity building helps you learn and develop new skills and knowledge that can be applied to the challenges you face everyday.

This phase can involve multiple approaches, based on need, including coaching, training, group facilitation, mediation, and designing systems for conflict resilience.

Research and Evaluation

Research and evaluation helps us learn from our experiences, share knowledge and improve in the future. Depending on your needs, this phase could produce a lessons learned reports, case studies, a program evaluation, or reflective practice.
