Facilitation

Over the course of my career, I have facilitated numerous internal and external creative workshops and training sessions - spanning topics as diverse as software installations to branding strategy to visioning sessions with nonprofits, startups, and corporations.

When appropriate, one powerful facilitation technique I use to create positive and actionable outcomes is Open Space:

Open Space

Open Space works best when the work to be done is complex, the people and ideas involved are diverse, the passion for resolution (and potential for conflict) are high, and the time to get it done was yesterday. It's been called passion bounded by responsibility, the energy of a good coffee break, intentional self-organization, spirit at work, chaos and creativity, evolution in organization, and a simple, powerful way to get people and organizations moving -- when and where it's needed most.
