Facilitation and Training

When your team is struggling to engage with Indigenous and other marginalized populations in a manner that brings desired outcomes, they may merely need information. Public speaking is about increasing awareness and understanding, while planting seeds of inspiration and motivation for change. Topics I speak on for organizations include

- Trauma-informed practice

- Culture and Cultural Safety

- Lateral Aggression and Violence

- Restorative Justice

- Reconciliation

- Generational Trauma, toxic shame,             intersecting with justice systems

​

When your family, team, department, or community needs to explore an issue that is challenging and difficult to talk about, you need skillful, person-centred, trauma-informed, and culturally safe support to navigate the discussion while maintaining relationships. A facilitated dialogue can help your group learn from each other, broaden each other's perspectives, and find common ground while bridging divides and making way for collaborative change.

This is where the work of change begins. A facilitated, experiential engagement where your team can work together to explore the needs giving rise to change, your collective capacity for bringing about change, anticipated roadblocks to change, and possible strategies for change that align with your vision, identity, and mission. Workshops provide learning and clarity to help with planning for change.   

Training is where we put our plans into action. It takes structure and discipline. We gain new ideas, tools, and skills, and apply them to the areas we are wanting to change. Training as a team is hard. We need to know and complement each other's strengths and limits, so we can work together to maximize our collective capacity for change.
