Consulting, Facilitation and Training

Even when you are committed to the work, conflict in your team can make you feel lost.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

You’re probably already working hard to address conflicts that are getting in your way.

Maybe you’ve followed organizational protocol for processing conflict. Perhaps you’ve tried to transform yourself to try to show up with more capacity. Or maybe you’ve just tried to ignore the tension, hoping it’ll go away. 

Sometimes these approaches have helped, but overall, it still feels like there are blocks in your work and collaborations, keeping you from your full potential.

“Nicole's wisdom, framing, and perceptive presence are gifts to any group entering into difficult and essential work.”

— Helene Lesterlin, Good Work Institute

Do any of these sound familiar?

  • Your organization is committed to transformative work in your community. But burnout and dynamics fueled by systemic oppression are getting in the way. You need support to keep your work from fizzling out.

  • Your staff says it’s committed to radical values of justice and abolition, but this isn’t reflected in your organizational structures, or the ways you work together. You need some help to shift culture and policy before you lose folks to disillusionment.

  • You’ve been working for months in what finally feels like your political home. Things are going smoothly until  personal trauma gets stirred up, conflict explodes, and you are unable to move forward.

  • You’ve always dreamed of living collectively, and you’ve joined a project that feels like a good fit, but interpersonal dynamics and issues of power and privilege are wearing on your connections and consuming way too much of the group’s time and energy.

  • Your spiritual community has been such a nourishing anchor and safe space for you, but you are devastated as egregious harm between members of this community comes to light.

If any of these stories resonate,
I’m here to help.

When your team is ready to dig into the tension that’s getting in the way of your work, it can be helpful to bring in support.

Let's find a time to explore how I can support you to move through these challenges and get to the other side.

How does it work?

Together, we create a custom contract tailored to best meet your group’s needs, which can include a combination of the following services:

  • Consulting

    1:1 coaching work with key individuals, support for those tending to group conflict from inside, and organizational development such as rewriting policy, culture building, and team retreats.

  • Facilitation

    Whether this is a mediation between individuals or larger group process, facilitated conflict processes can be invaluable to help your team move forward.

  • Training

    Online or in-person training and workshops to help your team build tools and skills for conflict and communication. Choose from my public offerings, or build a custom training for your team or board.

Strengthened capacity and effective tools can support you to shift organizational culture, structure and processes, and to transform conflict.

I’m available for a variety of events, trainings and workshops, geared to the needs of your group, including the following:

… and more!

I offer most of these workshops to the public annually, and can customize a training for your team on these and other topics.

Interested in learning more?

As a facilitator, teacher and coach, I support individuals and teams to move through conflict, build skills for resilience and show up more fully to their work for social change every day.

I’d love to explore supporting you and your team.

“I appreciate Nicole’s gift for evoking my own capabilities - for facing hard truths as a way through challenging situations - and their clear-eyed validation that this work (of building outside systems of domination) is hard, but eminently possible.”

— Lisa Donahue, Nature Connection Network

I ask clients to assess their payment amount depending on their financial access. 

Some work is done for a set fee, which we negotiate together. Some work is hourly.

For individual sessions, my range is $95-200 USD per hour.

For group or organizational work, my range is $125-250 USD per hour.

I will share a self-assessment tool during the intake process and we can be in conversation to support your discernment.

I’m also open to barter - let’s talk!

Your support allows me to offer more scholarships and sliding scale options, making my work more accessible to queer, trans, BIPOC and disabled clients.
