TEAM DEVELOPMENT
Lie awake worrying how will that critical meeting go?
Swamped and don’t have time to plan a critical series of meetings? Imagine the worst case scenario and anticipate months of clean up? Feel like if it flops, your professional reputation is on the line?
Facilitating conversations with easy-going people is hard even when you’ve got a few hours to plan. But most of us groan when we hear another adult is going to “facilitate”. We hate being handled. Forced into awkward situations. Manipulated.
But worse than eye rolling is what can happen if you’re under prepared. Rushing design, with poorly thought out objectives, can leave people resentful, angry and dis-empowered.
If you’ve got that 2am wide-awake-worry, or don’t have time to plan, reach out. Since 2001, Jennifer has facilitated hundreds of strategic conversations to support meaningful engagement, effective decision making, clarity on where and how a group will achieve their North Star.
Jennifer loves working with companies, non-profits and government teams whose missions is are to create communities and a planet where we all thrive.
Love your team but your work together is… meh.
Find your team of stars are great on their own but are struggling to perform together ? Tow the line and don’t say what they really think? Worry there’s a serious lack of trust and are analyzing it nightly with your partner until they’re like you really should go for that walk now.

“Jennifer is an excellent facilitator who can take curve calls with grace. Before I worked with Jennifer I was worried about tension and differences within our group. Working with her grounded and honest approach, enabled us to clearly face what might get in the way. Since working with her, I feel relieved and re-energized because our team had honest conversations, identified our values, and nailed down a clear path forward. I admire you Jennifer- you care deeply about people and are impeccably professional. Hats off to you!“-Yvonne Clarke, Former Chair, Yukon Advisory Council on Women’s Issues and Former President, Canadian Filipino Association of Yukon
