Training

Our professional development workshops encourage participants from all kinds of organizations, non and for-profits, foundations, city councils, to share knowledge, ask questions, and practice facilitation and problem-solving. We model diverse facilitation styles and strategies to help organizations and people reconnect with their values and strengthen their processes and community outcomes.

Training and Development services include:

Build creative facilitation skills to create more dynamic, engaging, and transformative meetings. Explore your facilitation superpowers, and learn how to co-develop creative agendas, clarify a meeting’s purpose and outcomes, and ensure equity and accessibility.
Strengthen your team’s ‘imagination muscles’ and discover new solutions within a safe, “no-stakes” environment. Great for mapping out policy pathways and exploring technical topics.
What happens when we recall that statistics can represent people and that data can become poetry? Find ways to powerfully convey your data to your audience.
What’s possible at the intersection of health and housing? Working across multiple sectors can create pathways for collaborations to meet human/community needs, now and into the future.
