Facilitation Services

Bringing people together? Don’t leave the most important part to chance.

We bring people together for all kinds of reasons. To make headway on difficult topics. Learn new things. Build new relationships. Strengthen existing ones.

We never forget great events.

But for some reason, it feels random when we pull one off.

But there’s a key moment that makes a difference.

When we have an idea and an invite list and we realize that we have to actually design the time we spend together.

Usually, we shove together an agenda, and kind of cross our fingers.

Hoping we’re covering the right things in the right way. But just guessing.

Hoping that things go as we plan. But playing it safe so we don’t have to deal with surprises.

All the while hiding from the hardest part: How to design an experience that people will remember.

How to combine the collective power of the people around the table to move complex things forward.

We’re all scared of bringing people together for a dud event. But if it’s an event that you really want to get right, you can take out the guesswork.

Work with me. I am an experienced facilitator that can take out the guesswork.

I can help you lead your team, community, or collaborators through a transformational experience.

I’m not a facilitator with generic skills working on any conversation.

I specialise in events, collaborations, and teams that are focused on sociotechnical topics. By combining sociotechnical expertise with facilitation superpowers, I can help you take the guesswork out of even the most complex collaborations and topical conversations. I help you use my proven process to support the people you are convening to work towards the outcomes you want to achieve. Every time.

Alix helps groups deepen their trust, hone their analysis and grow their confidence in having difficult but vital conversations to increase their impact in the world. I would trust any conversation in her care.

Make a Magical Event

In my 30 years of work, I've never seen a more skilled and intuitive facilitator than Alix. An event is a huge investment of time, money, and attention. Hiring Alix was the single best decision we made in support of a great return on that investment.

I’ve worked with Alix on several projects, and every time she has been a phenomenal thought partner. She always takes the necessary time to prepare and orient to the problem at hand, and then finds ways to work through the problem, approaching it from a new angle, and drawing on her own expertise to make the problem tractable.
