Speaking & Facilitation

There is value to have an experienced, outside speaker or facilitator who can co-create space for

transformative conversations among teams and communities.

As a consultant I facilitate conversations, groups, and presentations to encourage values-based decision-making that accounts for our current social context, specifically the distortion of the culture of racism.

I can ask provocative questions, help challenge assumptions, invite new perspectives, channel conflict into creativity, and be accountable for guiding the process forward.
