Facilitation

Facilitation

Breanna facilitates retreats and off-sites to help your organization achieve your unique goals. Her facilitation design enables a group to work together more effectively by creating an open dialogue, uncover old assumptions, resolve old conflicts, and surface mental models. It supports the group to think differently, create a shared language and enhance communication styles to move toward your goals.

Short-Term Impacts

Successful facilitation includes a thorough needs assessment for your organization. Resulting in a better understanding of what your group needs and uncovering the biggest obstacles to achieving success. Additionally, it builds shared accountability to the goals.

Long-Term Impacts

A facilitated initiative builds a common language, allows the group to develop shared milestones, develop sustainable agreements and a culture of collaboration.
