Design & Facilitation

We take the guesswork out of planning and coordinating impactful events. We focus on the behind-the-scenes nuances to design transformational learning experiences tailored to the needs of your organization.

The Art of Transformational Experiences

Bring your team together to share a meaningful experience at a truly unique event (don’t worry — we’ll design the right one for you!) that can even include a facilitator-guided discussion, reflection, and action.

Recent client experiences include:

  • Exploring history at a local preservation and history center

  • Sharing a meal followed by a discussion on relevant cultural heritage and travel

  • Storytelling workshops to learn the best way to ask open-ended questions and facilitate robust discussion

  • Attending a lecture, followed by a facilitated discussion on the topic

Education and facilitation on topics like:

  • Book study

  • Team Building

  • Leadership Exploration and Development

  • Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

  • Design sprints

Let us design a dynamic learning experience that brings your team together for shared joy, strengthened connections and deeper understanding.

Our Process

  • Discovery

    Our process begins with a dive deep to uncover your unique goals, values, and beliefs—as well as discuss practical aspects like logistics, timelines, and fees. This initial step lays the foundation, ensuring that our partnership aligns with your vision and paves the way for transformative outcomes.

  • Prototyping

    Once we complete Discovery, we head “into the lab.” We’ll put our heads together to ideate on where, how, and what best meets the needs of your organization. Then we’ll design a learning experience that brings it all together.

  • Iteration

    In this phase, we present our ideas and dig in to the why and how of your unique event. We do a lot of listening so we can incorporate any feedback and fine tune the experience and learning design for your needs and audience.

  • Playbook

    Finally we present our customized plan and can even facilitate your event if needed. We take care of every detail to ensure a memorable and transformational gathering for your team whether we are on-site to facilitate, or handing over a playbook for your to use as a guide.
