You want your organization and teams to adapt and work through complex change so they can continue to be mission focused and serve their clients well. North Star Facilitators helps you do this by bringing together the right people, asking them thoughtful questions and guiding them with processes that help them break down complex issues into simple, manageable chunks.

We guide groups to learn and heal from the past, honor current strengths and diversity, gather courage, work strategically and implement practical, motivating goals. We follow-up with clients to ensure they are able to achieve long term, positive changes and impact.

We have a special passion for allowing every voice to be heard, especially the voices of the “under-heard”. When we do this, the consequence is that together, we become so much more powerful.
