Facilitation That Lets the Community Lead

Complex issues exist in all types of communities and organizations. Navigating that complexity for the purpose of aligning effort takes skilled facilitation and leadership. At Evolve, we not only work with small businesses to get aligned, we also work with the communities that those businesses reside in. It's a wholistic approach to building a great eco-system. 

Our community work has taken us to many places - education, city and county governments, neighborhoods, farmland, non-profit sector - and it all boils down to the same initiative: Aligning the Misaligned. 

Misaligned doesn't mean tragic. It means that we're not on the same page, in the same chapter, or even in the same book. We use Art of Participatory Leadership principles and practices to guide teams and communities from misalignment to alignment, ultimately generating better outcomes for all involved.
