Co-designing processes in which people dialogue with/from what truly matters to them to create bolder and more life-affirming futures for organizations and communities. I am comfortable with the passion (read: conflict) that often arises when diverse interests and imaginations meet, helping people to really hear each other, and be changed by what they experience. For the past 20+ years, I have worked as a dialogue facilitator in a range of settings – from complex multi-stakeholder dialogues to innovative conference experiences to personal visioning retreats.𝐌𝐲 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐒𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬𝐞𝐭:• 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐋𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩𝐬: Leading vibrant workshops and events to engage community members or employees in strategic dialogues, co-learning or relationship-building.• 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Designing processes that foster alignment, co-ownership, and implementation, while strengthening relationships among diverse stakeholders.• 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠: Guiding organizations through setting purpose-driven directions, creating visions and developing actionable strategic plans.• 𝐑𝐞𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬: Helping organizations and communities transform their narratives of who they can be, to unlock new potential and drive impactful change.• 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐭 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Using light empathy-based mediation techniques to foster understanding across divides.• 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞: Understanding cultural conditioning and colonial influences to enable equitable collaboration among diverse participants.𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐠𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤:• 𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞-𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧: Co-creating ways forward that foster both social and environmental well-being.• 𝐑𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞: Building trust and community that endure beyond facilitated events.• 𝐖𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐒𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬: Harnessing diverse needs and viewpoints as catalysts for creating innovative solutions.• 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡𝐬-𝐁𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝: Unearthing and leveraging the existing assets and opportunities within organizations, communities, and individuals.• 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩: Building collaborative capacity of clients and organizations by involving them in designing and co-facilitating participatory events.
