Work better together.
Build trusting relationships and fuel authentic learning, so that your team can make a bigger impact.
Your teams and partners are your greatest resource.
And you know that they aren’t achieving the impact they could, because they aren’t regularly learning from each other.
They may be struggling to tackle problems collaboratively, wasting valuable time by working through problems others have solved, creating resources others have created, or lacking outlets to work through common problems of practice with trusted peers.
I can help.
Adult learning is my jam.
No matter if your meeting is small or large, virtual or in-person, culture-building or high-stakes decision-making, I channel my inner teacher.
But I’m no sage on the stage:
I draw out and connect the brilliant ideas in your teams across lines of difference and help build the trusting relationships that sustain peer learning well after our work together concludes.
My facilitation services take many different forms, so I price them individually.
Some common examples include:
Communities of practice.
I convene groups of peers across organizations and roles on a regular schedule to create trusting relationships and engage in powerful, peer-driven learning. Participants are better connected, more confident, more inspired. They have exemplars and lessons and strategies they would not have had otherwise. I can design and lead on behalf of these communities, serve as a coach or facilitator within an existing one, or provide thought partnership to others leading these communities on how to create coherent, powerful structures that unleash the magic of peer learning.
Funder learning networks.
I help groups of funders with common interests develop and implement a shared learning agenda they pursue together over time. Program officers and program directors engage in these powerful professional development experiences that highlight trends in the field, effective investment strategies, and opportunities to co-fund with other funders. Similar to my offering on communities of practice, I can design and lead these networks or participate as a coach, facilitator, or thought partner in existing ones.
Team retreats.
I help organizations design and facilitate retreats filled with joy, reflection, learning, and connection. Your team will emerge feeling heard, inspired, and confident they can tackle their day-to-day challenges better than ever. I’ll work alongside your team to create an experience that meets you where you are organizationally and pushes you to grow, together.

She owns every detail from start to finish, grounding design in her understanding of adult learning needs, ensuring all participants have access to peer learning opportunities, and keeping the vision and outcome in mind throughout.
