People come to me with stories and questions, often about:
- Getting Unstuck: Wanting to get back in motion when feeling stuck.
- Realizing Potential: Feeling that much more is possible but the potential is not being realized.
- Building Commitment: Wanting to work on commitment and ownership to become stronger as a whole.
- Developing Leadership: The desire to further develop the organization and adapt leadership accordingly.
- Building Organizational Culture: Striving for an organizational culture (“smell of the place”) full of vitality and mutual helping, where appreciating each other is the norm.
- Improving Family Dynamics: The desire of an entrepreneurial family to improve their relational familial processes.
- Promoting Collaboration: The aspiration of higher quality collaboration and decision-making.
- Developing Flourishing in Connection: The wish to create a flourishing whole by appreciating, amplifying, and connecting everyone's full repertoire of passion, knowledge, creativity, talent, and strengths.
- Designing system innovation: The desire to create a learning (eco)system where innovation can come from anywhere.
- Envisioning a joint outlook on the future: Wanting to create a clear and shared mission, vision, and strategic direction.
- Sustainable HRM: Wanting to work toward a broader, more contextual approach of HRM that centers on the long-term needs of all relevant stakeholders.
- Improving board dynamics: The desire of a board to improve own group dynamics in the service of quality decision-making.
These are fundamentally learning and development questions. By definition, they are relational-human complex and require collaborative inquiry and group learning from all involved.
My process expertise focuses on human relationships and relationship building, and involves creating the conditions for the learning process to occur as optimally as possible.
Facilitating what happens between people is what I do as a process facilitator. By framing, observing, sensing, ascertaining, inviting, asking questions, holding up a mirror, acknowledging, validating, naming or letting people notice, or waiting to give the learning process every chance.
I do this always deliberately and with respect, with the intention to improve the process towards vitality and developmental glow.
In this, I rely on countless encounters, my own work (see publications), and the work of others. I feel a great gratitude!
