Facilitation & Workshops
To “facilitate” means to make something easy.
The best outcomes flow when we can let go and trust in the collective intelligence in the room. Let me be your partner to achieving your team or organizational outcomes.
Examples of my custom work include specially developed Product /Market Fit Workshops for a Product Marketing at a HR System organization, Customer Journey Mapping for a tech company, Value Stream Mapping and Analysis for a clothing retailer, OKR Alignment sessions for a pharmaceutical and facilitated Brainstorming for a Creative team at an insurance company, just to name a few.
No matter how big or small, custom developed or pre-made, I’m an expert at catalyzing outcomes.
The Process
I work with you to get an understanding of what you are trying to achieve, then I engineer the event to meet it.
I help the team separate the signal from the noise, create enough safety in the setup where all voices can be heard, and ensure that regardless of format (in person or virtual) you will get something to work with.
I’m ORSC trained (Organizational and Relationship Systems Coaching) and I lean heavily into this and my experience with adult learning and leadership skills to bring about results for you and your teams.
The Toolkit
In virtual events, I leverage my Miro superpowers to create visually engaging and appealing designs. The StrongSuits “Your Winning Hand” Miro Board (created by me for StrongSuits) is an example of my skills in this space.
For In-Person events, I bring the flip boards, stickies and sharpies to capture all ideas both spoken and unspoken.
With a preference to small groups, I use breakout rooms and sub-groups for maximum engagement and to allow everyone a voice. I build in fun at every step so the event is productive and an event people want to be at.
