Our Approach.

We are facilitative leaders. Using practices such as small group conversations, listening sessions, and larger format workshops, we emphasize meaningful engagement for all invested parties.

​

As methods like Stanford's Collective Impact Model and deliberative dialogue have demonstrated, multi-stakeholder processes create more resilient solutions to complex problems. Our approach is necessarily tailored for the unique elements and contexts of each institution--whether a church, a city, or a college campus. See samples of our projects and work.

 

Some of our common actions:

​

• We demystify complex problem solving by helping people to speak and listen well together.

• We emphasize things held valuable and shared goals instead of positions and problems.

• We cultivate institutional community through targeted training, healthy conversation, and careful listening. 

• We equip leaders to continue our processes without us. In other words, we will teach you to do what we do! This fortifies existing institutional resources as new problems emerge.
