Facilitation, Design Support, and Coaching
“Anna has the great skill of holding a room well when she is facilitating. She is very open and willing to listen and engage in difficult conversations, and she provides a lot of safety for individuals to explore and try new things. There can be a lot going on and she can track it, hold it and move it forward. She has a strong, critical mind and is good at modifying and adjusting in real time.”
Alpinista helps groups reimagine the way that they bring people together. Many meeting designs miss the opportunity to tap the wisdom of the people present and truly distribute participation: attendees spend the day listening to speakers or panel discussions, and while a small group discussion or two might invite some conversation, it is generally a passive experience. At conferences, for example, we often have our most meaningful interactions at meals, or when we skip out on official sessions to grab coffee with a few colleagues. As an event organizer, it can be deeply frustrating to put enormous effort into large events and find that we're missing out on meaningful engagement. Liberating Structures make it possible to create deeply meaningful experiences for groups of any size, and Alpinista can help you create an exciting and engaging experience for your participants.
“Anna actively listens to your needs, whether through a 1-on-1 or a group discussion, and then works with you to put together a session that is engaging while also effectively addressing your needs. She brings a wealth of experience to the situation with Liberating Structures and her work with other organizations, and is able to strike just the right tone needed when facilitating sessions.”
