Facilitation
Elissa Brown provides a wide range of facilitation experience and abilities, from large city-wide strategic planning efforts to small community conflict interventions. Training and experience include meeting facilitation, strategic planning, mediation and partnership negotiations.
Facilitation, whether in the context of planning or conflict resolution, involves creating a “safe space” for the participants. All people involved need to know they will be heard and respected. With careful and attentive facilitation, tensions and conflict can be expressed and explored, and the group can find a new understanding and ability to work together. In the best situations, groups can integrate their diverse points of view and create ideas and vision that break new ground.
Skills and Experience include:
• Extensive negotiation experience including federal agencies, city and county government, businesses, nonprofit organizations and community groups
• Formal training in mediation and group facilitation.
• Experience in business mediation, staff mediation and contract mediation.
• Excellent communication and listening skills.
