What does your organization need?

If you’re navigating confusing, complex, delicate, or dysfunctional situations, I can equip your leaders, teams, and stakeholders with skills to help them transcend dysfunction, rebuild trust, finish projects, and change the way they interact and achieve. 

Here’s what I offer:

Meeting and Event Facilitation

Hire me to lead a meeting or event and I’ll design a session with a mix of listening and interaction that’s more than an agenda. Participants in multi-stakeholder meetings are proud to get work done during my sessions and have even been known to gush about how much fun they have in the process.

My goal is to create structure so multiple stakeholders can engage in the important – even contentious – conversations they need to have in order to change their systems so that their organization is healthy and effective. Teams that learn to collaborate are in an ideal position to lead and find solutions.

We brainstorm, engage in structured conversation, tackle concrete tasks, practice decision-making skills, and tap into professional development topics, such as:

Team Retreats

Daylong or weekend retreats give your team a chance to escape the office and talk about the big picture. I craft retreats to give teams and boards an opportunity to dig more deeply into people-to-people dynamics, skills development for getting work done, and learning to manage in complex situations. 

Focused time away leads to improved group learning and collaboration, space for reflection, and relationship-building activities. It also gives you structure and time to identify what is or is not working on a team, in a project, or in your workplace culture. 

Retreats can jumpstart transformational changes in your organization and help you become the kind of team that can manage challenges and work collaboratively.  

Retreats can explore:

Leadership Development 

I help each member of your team learn to bring their whole selves to the challenge of leading in complex situations.

Strategy Development

I design team sessions to help your team explore its work systems, define opportunities and challenges, and create solutions to move ahead.
