Facilitation

Did you know that the word “Facilitate” means “to make easy”? 


While holding a group together through challenging conversations and plans may not be easy, and takes tremendous practice and skill, our job is to make any process be as smooth as possible for you and your group. 


Groups hire facilitators to help guide them through a process where everyone’s voice is heard, meetings stay on track, concerns are voiced and explored constructively, innovative plans are created, and everyone knows what the next steps are. 


Exceptional facilitators read the energy in the room, intuitively adjust their approach to meet the group, stretch time, and innovate with methods, inviting the impossible to become reality. 


Tired of leading your own meetings and not having a chance to express your opinions too? Whether it’s a 2 hour meeting, full day retreat, or multi-month planning process, Sagebrush brings a full toolbelt of facilitation skills and a big heart to facilitate your next event.

“Sandhya is an expert facilitator! She conveyed the strategic process in a simple, concise manner that created collaboration and inclusivity for all. With effective communication and keen observations, she was fearless in challenging us to think and create new possibilities. Her optimistic, positive and energetic personality kept us engaged. Sandhya established and maintained a safe environment for all to be engaged in the discussion. With her help Manna was able to develop an innovative and community-minded strategic plan.”
