A Special Note About Facilitation
The right facilitator can make or break your retreat, planning session or event!
Whether you are dealing with a significant elephant in the room, or aiming for a fun-filled event to build your team, let me help you.
Facilitation is a process that I love! As someone from outside your organization, I create a safe and engaging environment that allows me to ask the hard questions and generate the conversations you need to have. I am highly skilled at creating collaboration amongst all ages, backgrounds and experience levels; ensuring that your goals for the facilitation process are met, and within the time allocated.
From meetings lasting a few hours to multi-day events, let me use my experience, tricks and tools to turn “dreaded” facilitated events into a highlight for your team.
