Facilitation
& Mediation
Solving complex challenges requires many perspectives, intelligently combined. Let’s harness differences, and transform them from obstacles to collective impact, whatever the scale of your initiative
I can help you with
– Process design for your meeting, workshop, or series of hui so people can ‘show up’ well
– Independent, engaging facilitation delivery, online and in person, engaging people’s ‘best selves’ for the challenge at hand
– Professional facilitation practice, manifesting the IAF Code of Ethics

“Isabella was like a breath of fresh air in our site office at Project Mill Creek. She has a unique approach which makes people challenge their regular way of doing things. She is an adaptable team member who can take any task and run with it.”
– DAMON SIMMONS
“I had the pleasure of participating in a multi-participant phone workshop facilitated by Isabella. Despite numerous setbacks with the technology Isabella managed to lead the workshop in an engaging and professional manner. Isabella took time to check in frequently with all participants, making sure everyone had their say. She maintained a focus on the outcomes; ensuring they were achieved. It was clear from her accurate minutes that she had done a great job.”
