Encouraging positive change and community impact
Integrating collaborative change methods with a community’s needs, values, and expectations helps community leaders navigate the wicked problems that inhibit growth and inclusion.
My facilitation approach incorporates collaborative principles, culture theory, design-thinking, dialogical community development, and the institutional analysis and development framework to identify community challenges and build a foundation employing necessary, equitable, and meaningful solutions for the entire community.
Using a facilitated dialogical approach, I work together with participants to identify outcomes and objectives, hear the diverse need, values, and expectations of the community’s voices, and work together to evaluate and bridge the gaps for improved cohesion and clarity for moving forward.
My work in this area includes:
- Civility and conflict resolution
- Coalition building
- Community building
- Facilitated collaboration
- Policy and planning
