Our curricula and workshops greatly enhance participants’ capacity to work collaboratively within and across organizations and create pathways to transformative results.

Each workshop is led by an experienced, dynamic facilitator and draws on the most current theory and practice in organizational development, conflict management, diversity awareness and cross-cultural communication. We use a mix of teaching techniques to suit a variety of adult learning styles including experiential skill building exercises, assessments, and presentation of frameworks.

Workshop titles include:

• Keys to Effective Communication Across Difference
• Integrating Left and Right: The Whole Brain Approach to Organizational Effectiveness
• Five Core Capacities for Effective Change Leadership
• Managing Conflict on the Path to Collaboration
• Building Emotional Intelligence for Enhanced Collaborative Capacity
• Strategies for Harnessing Organizational Learning
• Expanding the Table: Communication Skills to Engage Unlikely Bedfellows

Workshops can be fit into existing professional development programs. The length of our workshops can be customized to half-day, full-day or multi-day training programs and can serve as part or all of the content for a retreat.

Meeting Design and Facilitation

Collaborative Changemakers brings decades of experience to designing and facilitating participatory group processes that create meaningful dialogue, heighten learning and maximize the benefits of collaboration.

We work with organizations, foundations, and networks to design and facilitate:

• Staff and team retreats
• Inter-organizational convenings
• Grantee and stakeholder gatherings
• Training and workshops
• Focus groups to capture stakeholder perspectives

In partnership with you, we define the purpose and desired outcomes for your event, engage with key stakeholders to design the agenda, and apply our years of experience as group facilitators to deliver on your goals.

With our focus on building trust by naming differences, we enable all participants to bring the best of what they have to offer to a collaboration or partnership. Each meeting or retreat is completely customized and includes the creation of all pre-work, resources, handouts, materials and visuals. At the end of each engagement, we help you create a plan to directly apply insights and learnings from the event into your ongoing work.
