Coaching
Coaching is one-on-one support, tailored to what you need most. I like working with clients looking to develop their anti-oppressive practice, as people and professionals. I’ll help you set goals, build skills, and stay accountable for your growth. Our coaching could focus on:
your role in supporting inclusion, diversity, equity, and access within your organization
navigating difficult interpersonal dynamics, including harm and repair
developing your personal accountability practices
building management or leadership skills
designing new systems for your teams
discernment and decision-making
Facilitation
Facilitation is creating a “container” for a group to work in. Annual retreats, strategy sessions, and ongoing team or caucus meetings all need good facilitation to help the group stay on track, treat each other well, and work together respectfully.
I know that any process, decision, or outcome is most effective when everyone who will be impacted by it is invested in it. To make that happen, my facilitation work is generative and highly participatory—I support the whole group to build trust, work together to share input and ideas, and to come to collective decisions.
Workshops
Workshops are group experiences meant to train participants in specific skills. I have trained hundreds of leaders in over 15 countries on things like:
facilitation skills
how to plan and run an effective meeting
storytelling for social change
political education
No matter the subject, participants in my trainings have an opportunity to learn concrete tools, to practice the tools they’ve learned, and to bring their own experience and strengths to the work.
Special Projects
Special projects are a way to tap into my expertise to design a system, process, or policy. I like to work on things like:
HR policy
supervision/management practices
impact evaluation systems
cultural assessments
training curricula
equity interventions
For each project my goal is to break the patterns that incentivize us to abuse our own labor and ultimately burn us out. In their place, I help create courageous practices that meet our material, emotional, and interpersonal needs without sacrificing the impact of our work.
