Consulting & Facilitation for Social Benefit Organizations, Leaders, and Followers-
Hard.won.experience. Experience gained through successes and through challenges.
You know your work – you are the experts. Having an experienced outside eye, a gentle guide, a supporter in your corner, a neutral sounding board, or a co-generator of solutions and ideas, can make all the difference for your organisation and for how you show up in your work.
Strengths-based, mission-driven, and employing liberating structures to capture the best of what can emerge.
CONSULTANCY AREAS
- NonProfit Leadership
- Organisational Development
- Capacity Building (spoiler alert: capacity building does not equal more training for burnt out staff!)
- Policy revision or development through shared review and consensus building
- Strategic Planning
- Consensus building and group decision making, including for Social Enterprise and Social Benefit Real Estate
- Engaging the Vision: Roadmapping to the envisioned future state
- Women in Leadership
FACILITATION
- Intercultural Fluency (anti-oppression lens)
- Appreciative Inquiry
- Strategic Planning (option for facilitation only)
- Consensus building and group decision making, including, but not limited to, Social Enterprise and Social Benefit Real Estate (in other words, guidance for answering high-stakes questions together)
- Vision, mission, values development or refresh
- Beyond Coping – from reactive to proactive (health & sustainability for social purpose sectors, including capacity building, boundaries, mapping “pain points”)
- Inclusive discourse: Accountable spaces / ethical spaces – the process of learning/unlearning and exploring identity, intersectionality, and privilege is required of any social benefit organisation. It requires willingness to step into discomfort, to be challenged, and to be willing to revise the way we see the world and our place in it.
Services can be virtual, in-person (travel costs may apply), or a combination/hybrid. Approaches are stakeholder-need based and can be dialogue-centric arts-based, or anywhere in between.
