Meeting + retreat facilitation.
If you have an upcoming large-scale conference session that needs a dynamic guide, or an internal intimate retreat that needs a thoughtful and values-oriented leader, Devon can both facilitate as well as join, or assemble, a facilitation team. Facilitation that goes beyond “emceeing” an event entails:
naming goals and outcomes
building meeting / community agreements
detailed, access-oriented agenda design
facilitating (or co-facilitating) participants live or virtually
managing healthy conflict
determining evaluation process
Organizational development + cultural strategy.
Your organization is only as strong as the people you hire, and the culture that exists whether you intend it to or not. If you are at a crossroads and need support with a certain area of organizational growth or transition, or need a collaborator to get your organization’s culture on track, Get in Touch for Devon’s help with:
collaborating with org leadership and staff on diagnostic data gathering
identifying areas for growth and improvement
delivering analyses and human-centered recommendations for organizational changes
working with staff on values articulation
case-making presentations to boards on areas for organizational improvement
collaborating with org leadership on assessing staff morale
strengthening org culture in alignment with org values and staff needs, using equity-based frameworks
Climate + sustainability consulting.
Desmond Tutu said: “Twenty-five years ago people could be excused for not knowing much, or doing much, about climate change. Today we have no excuse.” No person or organization will escape the effects of climate change, and the effects are not one size fits all — they depend very much on your location, your budget, your community, your state and city climate and energy policies, and more. If you are an organizational leader most likely you care about climate change, but either don’t know how you and your org can affect meaningful change, or don’t have the internal bandwidth to make significant shifts in your org practices even if you’d like to. Devon can provide affordable support with and partnership in:
geographically specific organizational risk assessment for long-term environmental sustainability
tailored recommendations on reducing organizational carbon footprint
coaching leadership and staff on articulating climate values, and realigning organizational practices in accordance with those values
designing org climate action plans with equity-based frameworks and a justice lens
case-making presentations to boards on bolstering organizational climate resiliency
Workshops, presentations + mentorship.
