Facilitation: Catalyzing Climate Communities

Facilitation for trust-based, cross-sector gatherings that moves the climate technology community forward.

Expertise is evolving in the climate tech community and yet critical perspectives are sidelined while others dominate the conversation.
Trust and safety breaks down in cross-sector discussions where people either avoid hard truths or take the risk of exposure by being candid.
Collaboration struggles with engagement and participation – creating lengthy learning cycles. Gatherings are full of missed opportunities.
Climate tech community strategy is slow as convenors struggle to maintain neutrality – there is a need to evolve direction together.

Intake, design, and facilitation of small (10-20pl) to large (100-200pl) group cross-sector gatherings (in person or remotely) that develop:

Self-managing, trust-building group discussions
Participatory engagement (e.g., Liberating Structures, Open Space)
Foster shared community values including: collective accountability; relevant perspective taking; and strategic humility.

Distributed and Collective Leadership: Fostering community that can see and learn from itself.
Trust and Safety in Community: Safer conversations across diverse actors and stronger cross-sector trust and relationships.
Emergent Collective Direction: Shared, adaptive strategic insights.
Faster Path to Action: Concrete action pathways and accountability follow-up.

Open Space (2–3 Day Un-Conference): Emergent agenda, full participation, peer-driven.
Community Gatherings (1-Day Conference): Panels + participatory sessions. Moving beyond “info-sharing” into generative collaboration sessions.
Participatory Strategy (2-Day): Working with rapid and adaptive participatory strategy making tools + futures thinking = create shared, adaptive direction.
Ongoing Convening Series: For continuity, accountability, and system-wide learning in community..
Customized Event Gathering: Designed and co-created to meet your community’s specific needs.

Federal, provincial, and local climate tech programs and departments.
Climate tech coalitions, cross-sector groups, funders, foundations, and ecosystem convenors.
