Staff and board retreats, power mapping, asset mapping, equity-centered negotiations, visioning sessions, consensus decision making, and coalition meetings.
"I wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you for the wonderful retreat you guided us through last week on Friday. It was perfect – just what I was hoping for and what we as a team needed. It was wonderful to stretch, move, share and connect. I want to name a favorite part, but all if it had something that was so wonderful"
Toshiko Hasegawa, Executive Director, Washington State Commission on Asian Pacific American Affairs
“A coalition I was part of was facing two big issues - an ongoing conflict that was inhibiting our ability make decisions and an impending deadline to determine how our next annual budget would be distributed amongst us. Nicole skillfully built trust and understanding with the main parties in conflict and created a process for us to have difficult conversations grounded in restorative justice and healing. In addition to helping us re-center around our shared values and goals, Nicole worked with us to develop a new racial justice framework tool for budgeting through which we reached consensus on funding decisions transparently and equitably.”
