Facilitation Services Chicago - Judy Weddle and Dennis Jennings

We help groups move from “stuck” to “motivated.”  Don’t wait until dispute resolution or conflict management is required.  Collaboration is the key.  And while we provide mediation and conciliation services, we much prefer to get ahead of conflict through the use of respectful participatory planning processes.

“Meetings are really easy if there are no people.”

We know that the quirky human dynamic can surface anytime people gather together and the best made plans can be useless without the buy-in and energy of committed people.

The goal?  Assist groups, non-profit and community organizations, government, and business to do what they need to do;  that is, have effective meetings, maximize team potential, improve group dynamics, provide quality citizen input, and produce results oriented planning.

We help provide a space in which people can breathe new life into their day-to-day functions creating more committed individuals, easier group problem solving and decision making, better planning with increased shared accountability and improved outcomes.

We provide facilitation services focused on shared participation, training in the methods we use, mentoring and coaching support, mediation and conciliation services as well as strategic and action planning assistance. 

Who do we work with?  Anyone who needs help organizing and clarifying next steps.
