As a facilitator, I am unbiased about the topic and invested in designing and managing a process for events to support group cohesion and effectiveness. I facilitate a wide variety of events.
As a member of a greater facilitative community, I can work alone with smaller groups or bring in an entire team of facilitators to support large groups.
Examples
Leading or assisting your group in designing a program, product or service, program or project, event agenda, facilitator guide, or organizational systems and processes. Anything can be designed by following a proven method.
Examples
Using participatory methodologies to involve stakeholders such as communities, employees, teams, the public, public-private partnerships, coalitions, service agencies, etc. These can be short term programs or long-term comprehensive engagement plans that include multiple types of participatory events and strategies.
Engagement projects include a wide array of involvement:
Examples
Creating a structured approach to leading organizations to a desired future goal. Coordinating effective and efficient performance or culture in an organization. Working with groups to design and implement a management plan that leads to strategy, process, innovation, conflict, cultural, or operational change. These management and strategy services can be short-term and long-term projects.

I design strategic and collaborative meetings and teach others how to do the same. Along the way, I work and learn from great community builders and share that information with you.
