I help teams work through questions that feel too big or too full of conflict and ambiguity to answer—the ones that keep folks talking in circles or build resentment each time they try to work through them. This work is especially helpful for organizations experiencing pivotal moments: starting something new, changing the way they work, facing conflict head-on for the first time, etc.

I design and facilitate multi-day retreats, recurring design sprints, one-off workshops, or recurring sessions. I also offer—where appropriate—aftercare! This is a long tail of coaching and follow-up to help teams implement and practice what they learned during our time together.

This work—while serious—is rooted in play, collaboration, and humanity. My favorite part of facilitation work is watching folks realize they’re capable of working through complex questions and unknowns.

I help teams design and adopt practices that support:

*cross-organizational collaboration and information sharing

*knowledge management

*shared work planning

*effective and purposeful meetings

*knowledge retention/transfer + succession planning for outgoing leadership

*building in-house facilitation skills

…and more. A lot of this work shows up as capacity building for my Foundation clients’ grantees, but it’s applicable to all organizational structures!

I help organizations in transition navigate conflict, change, and organizational grief.

Loss is a part of change. Conflict is a part of being a human working with other humans. The goal is not to avoid conflict, but to work together to navigate conflict with care and humanity.

I help teams create space to name and feel what they’re feeling, and to design practices that will help them to move forward, together, with care and healthy boundaries.

Folks are often most surprised by the fact that this work, while it can be hard, brings teams a lot of joy!
