I facilitate the fun, generative process your staff retreat is craving.
My workshops use Design Thinking—a fun, fast-paced problem-solving methodology—to get your team thinking differently, working collaboratively, and moving the needle quickly and meaningfully.
You’re gathering your team.
Let’s make sure you’re harnessing the magic in the room.
There’s so much potential when you bring your people together. But I’ve seen it time and time again—you fall back into the same patterns, usual mindsets, and get caught in the loop of “that never works” amdist reteam dynamics. That’s where I come in—as an outside facilitator using Design Thinking, a structured, generative methodology that helps get your team moving. Through half-day, full-day, or two-day retreats, we will focus on team building, problem-solving, and ensuring you walk away with fresh, inspiring ideas and an action plan to make them happen.
I’ve facilitated this process countless times, and it never ceases to amaze clients what comes out
“I’ve never seen these team members having discussions like these.”
“We’ve achieved more in one day than we have in months before chipping away at this challenge.”
These are things I hear clients say time and time again during and after our sessions. That’s because the Design Thinking process creates the structure and tools to think innovatively, get out of everyday thinking, and connect with others across power dynamics, job titles, and roles. It allows groups to explore new avenues, dream big, and then land it back in reality to move forward.
“I’m not sure how we never thought of that before.”
How it works
Each facilitation experience is tailored to your needs. Here’s a glimpse into the process.
-
We’ll jump on a call to discuss your goals, challenges, and what you’re hoping to get out of our time together. No commitment, just a conversation to see if we are a mutual fiit.
-
Once we’ve made things official (aka signed our contract), we’ll jump on a call to deep dive into your ideas, visions, and goals for the session. I’ll ask you a bunch of questions to holistically understand your team, who will be in the room, and anything else I need to know to tailor the session to be as impactful as possible.
-
I will tailor the session to your specific needs using insights from your strategy call. This takes into consideration your goals, group size, format requirements, and team dynamics. As a facilitator with 15+ years of experience, I’ve seen it all, so I use that experience to ensure the session is successful and impactful.
-
The main event! I’ll guide your team through a structured but collaborative, interactive process. Half-day or full-day, in-person or virtual, or a combination!
-
After our session is done, I will deliver a document capturing key insights, decisions, and next-steps so the momentum persists well past our time together.
About the
Design Thinking
methodology
My workshops are grounded in design thinking—a creative problem-solving methodology that puts empathy and human needs at the center of every decision. It's structured enough to keep things productive and open enough to surface the insights that matter.
The process moves through Inspiration (understanding the problem deeply), Ideation (generating creative solutions), and Implementation (prototyping and testing ideas). I've been practicing and teaching this methodology for nearly 15 years, and what I love most is watching teams discover a new way of working together that they carry forward long after our session.
