We design and facilitate a wide variety of workshops, trainings, and immersive experiences that meet people where they are and create safe spaces to learn new skills. Training is a cornerstone of all of our offerings because it creates the conditions for employees to develop the skills they need to accomplish their goals.

Our training approach combines human-centered design, reflective practice, and systems thinking into every skill we share. We engage participants through interactive, “learn by doing” activities that serve to reinforce learnings, engender ownership, and build empathy between peers. Each training or workshop infuses the context of the client–whether one department within a city or a cross-departmental team at a state agency. We start with a basic infrastructure for our trainings, then build them out to ensure our content is relevant and meaningful for participants.

We have facilitated hundreds of trainings and workshops for government agencies and nonprofit organizations. Below is a list of some of our recent trainings and workshops. The list is not exhaustive, as almost all of our client engagements involve training and facilitation.
