Empowering Communities
and Guiding Growth

Let’s engage co-operative members and their communities like the future depends on it.

Because it does.

There’s a model for creating stronger local economies and communities.

You should know about it.

  • The definition of facilitate is to make an action or process easier.

    We have the skills and experience as facilitators to provide neutrality and foster engagement to help groups work through challenging problems and conversations.

    We offer numerous facilitation services, from planning sessions to training workshops, and customize every approach for the audience.

  • If you’re looking for a panelist, presenter, event MC or moderator for your conference, AGM or professional development event, let’s talk.

    We offer an engaging and entertaining approach to empowering others through cooperation and community collaboration.

  • We help you cut through the crap.

    Our strategists can give you an honest evaluation of your current capacity and your ambitious goals and show you how to make the most out of the relationships and resources you have.

“Lacey, I appreciate you so much for your leadership last night. You did such an amazing job of presenting the resolutions and making the process so simple.

  • you’re a consumer who has household expenses and bills

  • you’re an entrepreneur who is struggling to access capital

  • you’re a farmer or producer with high input costs and low margins

  • you’re a newcomer or young person who is underemployed

  • you’re a renter who does not have equity in the housing market

  • you’re a worker with no real say in operations or profit distribution
