Strategic Facilitation Consultant

I design and facilitate generative conversations that blend strategy and culture to go from dialogue to direction to action.

What I bring to a conversation-led workshop session:

  • A background in business development, marketing, and client services, connecting strategy among multiple stakeholders.

  • Experience across small and mid-sized companies, non-profit organizations, and community action agencies.

  • Certifications in Appreciative Inquiry and Conversations Worth Having, applying strengths-based, positive, and proactive methods to conversation design and facilitation.

  • Expertise in facilitating customized strategic planning sessions for leaders and teams that inspire action.

Why positivity?

When people are engaged in positive ways and focused on organizational strengths, achievements, and assets, they are better able to activate their best thinking and emotional intelligence—resources every organization needs to stay relevant and resilient. The ability to build on “what’s working,” is a compelling advantage in an environment of constant and never-ending change.

What is the relationship between conversation & action?

Most strategies fail not because of poor planning, but because engagement fades. I believe that better results begin with better conversations. When conversations are intentionally designed and generative in nature:

  • Strategic direction emerges naturally—people see the path forward together.

  • Teams align around a shared direction and desired outcomes.

  • Action becomes inspired—because it’s owned, not imposed.

Oh, and the other happy by-product? It's a natural way for leaders to lean into emerging strengths-based leadership styles that define today's work environments.
