Change Management. “How many psychiatrists does it take to change a light bulb? One, but the bulb has to really want to change.” The same is true for people and organizations. Good change management plans address the people and process aspects of change, keeping all balls in the air.

 Facilitation. Facilitators help groups become more effective. They act as neutral, expert guides to create a balance between participation and results. Facilitators design your meetings to reach your results, ensure full participation, manage conflict, and  maximize learning. If you are not sure how to get there, a facilitator can show you the way. Read the International Association of Facilitators Code of Ethics.

 Executive Coaching. Executive coaches work with individuals (usually executives, but often high potential employees) to help them gain self-awareness, clarify goals, achieve their development objectives, and unlock their potential. A coach believes that the knowledge of how to improve and succeed lies within the coachee. The coach’s job is to help the coachee access their innate strengths and knowledge.  Coaching is not mentoring and the coach is not a subject matter expert — except in coaching.

Strategic Planning. Effective strategic planning produces decisions and actions that shape and guide what an organization is, who it serves, what it does, and why it does it, with a focus on the future. Simply put, “Having a strategy means saying ‘no’ to good ideas.” During the strategic planning process, organizations first clarify their vision, mission, and overarching principles. Once they have established their goals, they SWOT and identify critical success factors.  Add measurable objectives, create strategies, and follow with tactics. It may sound complicated, but if an organization follows the road map, the outcome is a clear, aligned, plan for the future. With room for adjustments as reality intervenes.

Conflict Resolution. Conflict exists because we are human beings. Whether conflict is interpersonal, within a team, or across departments, there are solutions. I use a blend of psycho-dynamic group process, systems theory, traditional conflict resolution, and mediation to help teams and people solve problems.

Assessment. Individuals and teams can benefit from structured tools that enhance awareness of strengths, preferences, and the impact of their behaviors or systems. Learning about perceptions (self or other’s) and increasing self knowledge increases the ability to succeed. 

Organizational Design. If a system’s structure, job roles, and processes don’t match its strategy and goals, it will slow or fail. Organizational design is a structured process that aligns a business’s strategy to its goals, and shifts the system’s design to help it reach them efficiently. What does this mean? Base your organizational structure on what you want to achieve.

Zia ( Traditional Name: “Tsi-ya”) is a small Keresan-speaking Pueblo located about 35 miles north of Albuquerque on a site overlooking the Jemez River, where their ancestors have lived since the 13th century. The Zia are well known to the people of New Mexico for their sun symbol, which depicts a circle with line emerging at the four cardinal directions. The Pueblo has asked that the symbol be used respectfully, as it is a religious symbol.  To learn more, visit the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center.
