We work with professional organizations, nonprofits, educational institutions, and networks through—
Strategic facilitation • Leadership and Team Coaching• Collaborative skill-building
​
Design and facilitation of off-sites, retreats, and multi-session processes focused on decision-making, alignment, and direction.
Support for leaders and teams navigating complexity, collaboration, and shared leadership.
Practical training that strengthens how people participate, listen, decide, and work across difference.
Our Role
We create fun, positive, and highly productive group experiences by facilitating off sites and retreats for professional organizations and companies, often through a combination of in-person and online sessions. Our mission is to guide you through challenging decision-making processes, strategic planning, vision and alignment, while equipping your team with essential group work skills.
THE CURRENT SCENARIO
You’re leading work that matters.
-
Multiple stakeholders or organizations
-
Competing priorities and perspectives
-
High-stakes decisions revisited again and again
-
Groups that care deeply, and yet, may feel stuck
​Many leaders and organizers are doing this work in isolation.The people are smart, committed, and stretched. Decisions feel heavy. Perspectives collide. Progress slows.
WHAT WE DO
​We are designers and facilitators of collaborative processes. As your facilitators, we seamlessly integrate skill-building activities and relationship-building components throughout your day or days together. By doing so, we ensure a cohesive experience that fosters the optimal conditions for your team to engage in their most meaningful work and conditions that help groups do their best thinking together.
​​​
That includes how conversations are framed, how decisions are approached, how power and participation are handled, and how people stay engaged when the work is complex or tense.
WHAT OPENS UP
When collaboration is well designed and well facilitated, people speak more honestly and listen more carefully. Differences stop being obstacles and start being useful information. Leaders don't have to carry the whole process alone, and everyone leaves with informed clarity, not just a pile of notes. Conversations become more focused and more honest. Participation is more balanced, and differences are addressed rather than avoided. Decisions are clearer, responsibility is shared, and actions move forward rather than being deferred. The process no longer rests on one or two people to hold everything together.
​
Our approach not only helps you achieve your objectives, but it also cultivates trust, cohesion, optimism, and confidence among individual participants and the team as a whole.
This work happens in person, online, and in hybrid spaces, depending on what best serves your context.
The formal program was 2 hours long and the last person left the call 5 hour later. It was extraordinary. Exceeded all our expectations and engaged people we never would have reached in person.

You were able to guide us to a structure that would have taken us so much longer to get to on our own.
