Approaches

Management strategy

Together, we’ll:

  • Build collective clarity on why we are collaborating for deep change.
     

  • Surface and synthesize insights and information to cultivate understanding of what needs to change.
     

  • Facilitate active, engaging and empowering processes that develop the infrastructure of how we will work together to shift towards our shared vision of needed change.

Collaborative Design

  • The creation of effective, inclusive, diverse, and meaningful collaborative structures that facilitate systemic change.
     

  • I partner with your organization, agency, or community to scale existing efforts or build new collaborative coalitions, networks, or cross-sector initiatives from the ground up. Together, we address and transform complex, wicked problems into impactful solutions.

Plan for Audacious Action

  • Navigate complex discussions and decision-making processes with clarity, confidence, and purpose—especially in dynamic and changing contexts.
     

  • I facilitate strategic, collaborative action planning, rooted in deep listening and thoughtful inquiry. Leveraging a range of methods and tools designed for co-creation, I steward projects forward—from dynamic, single-session meetings to sustained, multi-year initiatives. Together, we listen, focus, refine, and repeat.

Facilitate Meaningful Gatherings

  • Bring people together with intention, deepen relationships, and spark meaningful connection around shared purpose.
     

  • I design engaging retreats, convenings, and gatherings to energize your work, strengthen collaboration, and foster deeper connections. Whether you’re at the beginning, middle, or pivotal turning points of your collaborative journey, I'll partner with you to create intentional spaces that infuse strategic clarity, connection, and fresh energy into your group.

Community Engagement
  • Gather information from partners and community members across systems to understand and co-create relevant responses to community needs.
     

  • Any effort to create big change is only as good as the people engaged to dream it. Through interviews, focus groups, surveys, listening sessions (virtually and / or in person), I collect the perspectives and experiences of those that create and influence the way systems operate alongside the perspectives of those that are most impacted for integrated action and decision making.

Research and Sense Making
  • Qualitative and secondary data collection, sense making, report writing and info-graphics.
     

  • The first step to knowing what to change is learning to love the problem. Loving the problem leads to research, analysis and synthesis of several types of data and translating findings into meaningful, accessible content that provides the foundation for responsive action. 

Training for Collaborative Success
  • Equip your team with foundational skills and knowledge essential for meaningful collaboration, facilitation, and systems change.
     

  • I offer interactive training that shares key insights drawn from years of facilitating groups, designing partnerships, and navigating complex systems. Together, we'll explore essential ingredients for success—including facilitation skills, systems thinking, and collaborative design methods—to ensure your group feels confident, aligned, and ready to act effectively.
