Facilitation and Process Consulting

With over 25 years of experience working with large and small organizations, Linda helps you:

• Make smart, informed, shared decisions
• Develop your vision, mission and strategic plan
• Evaluate and make course corrections

A sustained change in life rarely comes about with one intervention. With that in mind Linda thinks of herself as a process consultant where a mix of intervention approaches may be used. These might include facilitation, coaching, customized workshops, or a celebration of some kind. 

Facilitation

Facilitation is often solicited when a group has a problem to solve or difficult dynamics to work with. A facilitator helps the group clarify their meeting objectives, design their process, and pay attention to the group dynamics occurring in the moment. Having a facilitator can help make sure that the purpose is clear, the process appropriate, that dialogue is encouraged, airtime is shared, decisions clear, and time frames respected. An external facilitator ensures that all parties are able to fully engage in the content of the meeting.

Process Consulting

Process consulting is done in partnership with the client, often with a small group of representatives of the larger system. Together we look at what's happening, where you would prefer to be, and co-create a process to get there, taking into account all the internal and external realties. The intention is also to help you become more aware of the patterns that are helping or hindering your progress and to develop new habits that are more aligned with your vision. As the awareness and skills become integrated into your everyday life, and support systems are put in place, I gradually back out of your system. My job is to work myself out of a job with you!

The appropriate support can make all the difference!
