What's A Facilitator?​
In short:
It's someone (like me!) who helps a group of people work together ​in a warm, encouraging style that makes even the tough conversations feel possible.
​
People often tell me I have a knack for reading the room and creating a safe, welcoming space — and that’s exactly what you want in a facilitator. You need someone who can take the topic at hand, guide the conversation with intention, and create an environment where everyone feels heard, engaged, and able to contribute.
The right facilitator doesn’t just help you reach meaningful outcomes — they also offer support beyond the session to help you keep the momentum going.
​
Is funding available to hire facilitators?
Often times, yes, and I can help you navigate
that world.
Idea Sprints, Workshops & Focus Groups
Facilitation comes in many forms, my favourites being:
​
-
Workshops & Focus Groups: Whether you're rallying a community, building strategy, or testing a new idea, facilitating collaborations whether it be traditional roundtables, breakout sessions, targeted focus groups or another set-up that suits your needs best, I'm versatile in developing experiences where every voice can be heard and every idea explored.
​​
-
Idea Sprints: A specialized way of guiding entrepreneurs and teams in shaping breakthrough ideas that spark new solutions for products, services, or strategies.
​
Funding Opportunities
​
Is there funding available to hire facilitators?
Often time, YES!
I can help you identify funding opportunities that align with your goals, guide you through the application process, and help you clearly communicate your impact or idea.
​
You may qualify for funding if you have a clear mission, serve a community need, are launching
a new initiative, or can show potential for impact — even if you're just starting out. By organizing your thoughts, clarifying your vision, and mapping out your needs, a facilitator can make your case stronger and more fundable.
