What I Offer

I co-design and facilitate transformative virtual and in-person group experiences where people come together to build relationships, gain new insights, and  envision, plan, and implement change.

I work with social changemakers, public servants, education advocates, and organizational leaders to plan and lead dialogues, workshops, meetings, trainings, retreats, and other gatherings, with a focus on advancing social equality, systemic equity, collective healing, human rights, and social justice.

Organizational Dialogue & Consensus Building

Thinking Together: Dialogues and Consensus Workshops are processes that support the group to think together about internal culture and systems, or external mission-centered work.

In Dialogue, the group explores and better understands complex issues. As a dialogue facilitator, I uphold the structures and guidelines and offer key questions, so that the group can fully and authentically discover new insights, meanings and answers of the issues.

In Workshops, the group creatively brainstorms ideas and works toward consensus to make clear decisions or find solutions. As a workshop facilitator, I pay attention to the needs of the group and guide a process of systematized, step-by-step exercises, so that the group can pay full attention to the issues and questions at hand and reach clear outcomes, identify key next steps, and accomplish collective goals.

Justice, Equity, & Inclusion
