Expert Facilitation: Collective discussions where everyone is included.

Good facilitation helps groups explore ideas, design together, and make decisions in ways that include every voice. 

As a facilitator, I hold the space so everyone can fully participate, freeing up leaders and team members to focus on the conversation instead of the process.


What I Offer

I design and facilitate sessions that are inclusive, engaging, and tailored to your purpose. This could include:

  • A planning day for your board or leadership team

  • A workshop to co-design a project, option, or decision

  • A collaborative session to explore new opportunities

  • A structured process for tackling complex or sensitive issues


The Value

With independent facilitation, you can:

  • Ensure everyone’s contribution is heard and respected

  • Work through challenging conversations constructively

  • Build shared ownership of outcomes and next steps

  • Turn collective thinking into clear direction and action


Costs

  • Half-day workshop: $2,000–$3,500 depending on numbers and complexity

  • Full-day workshop: $4,000–$6,000 depending on numbers and complexity

  • Custom facilitation (multi-day processes, conferences, or community engagement): quoted on request


Delivery

All facilitation can be run online or in person.
For in-person sessions, travel and materials are additional. Organisations are responsible for venue hire and catering.


"Carolyn pulled together a two-day (kauri ora planning wānanga) workshop incredibly quickly and it went off without a hitch. The space was set well, the sessions were productive and inclusive, and the outcomes were incredibly useful."
