Impact Strategist & Facilitator
Transformative Facilitation
I facilitate brave spaces that help you and your team go from point A to point B (or C, D, E...).
Transformative facilitation assists in efficient and consensus-based decision-making, developing new skills, or shifting perspectives.

Meeting Facilitation
I can facilitate your meetings to allow full participation and group breakthroughs by holding the space for brave conversations, fostering team collaboration and unity, and turning potentially tedious conversations into interactive and fun meetings.
It is often beneficial to have a third party facilitate team meetings to guide you with organized and engaging agendas, ask thoughtful questions with a fresh perspective, and help you keep focused on your objectives.
The impact of this service to the people of your organization can result in:
-
feeling less overwhelmed by decision-making processes,
-
enjoying participating in meetings,
-
increased productivity and confidence in decision-making
-
feeling heard and engaged,
-
improved team cohesion and ownership over directions taken.

Team Retreats
A way to support unity and organizational well-being is by providing your team with opportunities to have fun, relax, and feel valued and engaged.
Team retreats can be designed around specific outcomes depending on the needs of your organization. It can be a way of upscaling small group meeting facilitation to facilitating for everyone in your organization (ideally, off-site).
The impact of this service to the people of your organization can result in:
-
feeling valued, supported and appreciated,
-
stronger connections and unity with peers,
-
memorable moments of fun and relaxation as a team.

Peer Support
As a solopreuneur and facilitator, I know the value of having thinking partners to help me get unstuck, provide new perspectives, and share activities and resources.
I offer 1:1 design support, frameworks, tools, and customized activities. At live sessions, I offer co-facilitation and co-production services.
The impact of this service can result in:
-
feeling supported by another experienced facilitator with different ideas, approaches, and frameworks,
-
access to new tools for virtual facilitation
-
increased confidence to test out new activities, tools, and ideas,
-
feedback and suggestions for more engaging sessions
-
decreased stress from multi-tasking during live sessions with support on managing large groups, running tech, and other production components.

Capacity-Building Workshops
I offer capacity-building workshops (trainings) or 1:1 sessions tailored to the needs of your organization. While I share expertise on certain topics, I always honour individuals' knowledge and transferable experience to co-create and open opportunities for mutual learning.
Some of the skill development offerings available are:
-
leadership and supervision for new or existing managers,
-
intercultural awareness and competency,
-
cross-cultural and intergenerational communication,
-
self-awareness for group empathy and cohesion,
-
facilitating engaging meetings (virtual or in-person)... and more!
The impact of this service to the people of your organization can result in:
-
feeling supported and less overwhelmed with management responsibilities,
-
having a shared language to ask for and provide support,
-
increased productivity and higher functioning teams,
-
better working relationships between diverse teams,
-
self-awareness to understand leadership styles, motivation, and response under pressure
-
more creativity and appreciation for diverse backgrounds and perspectives.

Experience Design
Experience design is a method that is rooted in framing experiences by designing for transformation at the feeling, thinking, and action levels. It uses a holistic approach with human-centred methodologies and seeks to strengthen relationships and connections.
As a certified Experience Designer, all my facilitation involves this in one way or another. However, I also facilitate experience design sprints/sessions for organizations rethinking organizational culture and service delivery. I help you think through how to create better experiences with your organization, improve services/programs, and strengthen relationships for your team, stakeholders, and the people you serve.
The impact of this service to the people of your organization can result in:
-
staff, volunteer, client, and stakeholder satisfaction,
-
improved organizational culture and services/programs,
-
deep connections to your organization,
-
nurturing creativity and innovation,
-
foster a culture of learning, growth, and embracing the power of 'failure',
-
troubleshooting and rethinking challenges you've been stuck with,
-
memorable moments of fun, ownership, and co-creation as a team.
