Utilise my expertise to
Facilitate Change
in your organisation
I am fascinated with people, process, and change. Not only do I teach leaders how to lead change, I also help you by facilitating change for you.
Others often describe me as a ‘master facilitator.’ Below, you can read about examples of past clients and the challenges they each faced that I assisted with.
I have extensive experience as a catalyst for systemic change and have seeded new ways of seeing and doing things by helping individuals, teams, and communities identify and rethink the unconscious assumptions holding them captive.
Each facilitation is specifically designed just for you and the outcomes you desire. The process usually involves:
A meeting to discuss your context and desired outcomes
Designing a process for you
A second meeting to confirm the process and outcomes. - adjustments made as necessary
Delivery
Debrief meeting after the facilitation.
Let me take the load off your shoulders, and handle the sometimes difficult emotions unleashed in ‘trickier’ facilitated conversations.
You can then participate in your role as appropriate.

“Josie and her team at the Partnership are professional, friendly and easy to work with. They certainly know their stuff, and as a research community, we were impressed by their methodological approach. The communication leading up to our strategy day was clear and we were able to tailor make a solution to meet our needs. We have received only positive affirmation from our staff, collaborators and members of the community who were present on the day. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the experience of being able to control the “emergent agenda” and have the conversations they most care about. We now have myriad of new ideas and concepts to explore as we embark on our shared research vision together. I highly recommend Josie and her team and look forward to working with them again.”
“I wanted to send a personal thank you for your sessions last week with the AILA team. We really valued your leadership and guidance as we discussed how we would like to work together. I feel like it will help enormously, and I hope we can continue to work with you over the coming months. I loved the activities you did with us and the support you offered our group to examine how we make decisions and work together.”
