Wayfinding

I’m clear from our brief time together you are a master of creating value. Recently, an in-person half-day period opened up spontaneously for four of the Planetary CARE leaders with Julie present. After a few questions she asked of us, she created an ‘experience’ for us that blended intuition and insight. By the time we finished a few hours later, a deeper sense of clarity about who we are as Planetary CARE, what is important and how this might be expressed emerged. I’m looking forward to the next opportunity we will have to work with Julie. She is a masterful facilitator with an insightful ability to sense into what is needed in the moment at hand.

Forrist Tanner Lytehaause | Founder, Planetary CARE L3C

Julie guided us DEEP into the “why” we do what we do, into alignment with what’s most important, and into coherent dynamics within our team. As a result, we are clearer, stronger, and passionately committed individually and collectively–really leaning in to our possibility.

Kirsten Gallo | Planetary Care L3C

Thank you for your exceptional contribution to the Detroit Regional Chamber Mackinac Policy Conference. Your participation and expertise directly resulted in the success of the Conference tightly focused on innovation, collaboration and the 21st century global market.

The service and value you provided was undeniably the best interpretation and documentation ever provided at the Conference. The visual facilitation was remarkable and a key component that helped drive home results and kept the positive buzz of the Conference going amongst attendees and media outlets. The Conference was greatly enhanced by your talents!

Julie, thank you again for your expertise and creative insight. I hope you share my excitement and gratitude of the accomplishments achieved with this year’s Conference. Let’s do it again next year!

Sandy Baruah | Detroit Regional Chamber

Thanks for facilitating our group’s exploration of a potential alliance last week.  I think we accomplished much more thanks to your facilitation – not only from the standpoint of your objectivity but also the extraordinary way you managed to frame up the conversation and capture our words into a visual map.  You probably moved us ahead 3 to 4 months in the span of only 24 hours.  Great stuff! Many thanks for all your help.

Jeff Butler | Strategy Execution Advisor

I engaged Julie to facilitate a day-long retreat with a group of very experienced consultants and facilitators because I knew she had the wisdom and experience to do a great job. From the initial discussion through the post-workshop followup, the process was flawless. 

Linda Hoopes | President | Resilience Alliance

Before the hack-a-thon and getting Julie on board I was worried that I would have to do all of the heavy lifting and then attempt to participate. I had also only participated in a hack-a-thon before not ever facilitated one, so having Julie’s expertise in Open Space and other facilitation mastery really allowed the hack-a-thon feeling to emerge. Especially in terms of allowing conversations to flow where they needed to given the needs of the group. And the added bonus of having her beautiful ability to capture the sentiment of the conversation in real-time via her graphic artistry was exceptional. This was such a differentiator and something that made the participants really feel special.

Lisa Flick Wilson | Vice President | Southeast Energy Efficiency Alliance

Your contribution was a great differentiator for us and created buzz for the Alliant Energy team around their corporate headquarters – something they acknowledged in the closing dialogue we had with them.

Michael Boyd | Accenture

The visioning session was a huge success as well as life changing!! I have heard nothing but great, positive, and insightful feedback regarding your session. We have also sent a post survey out to the entire organization and will be reviewing the results of the survey soon. On a personal note, I loved your session. It impacted me in a way I was not expecting. I tapped into a part of myself that I had not fully acknowledged. I want to personally say “thank you” for the experience. I will not forget it.

Sharon James | United Way for Southeastern Michigan

“You’re the easiest person I have worked with. Thanks!”

Amgela Kageni | Independent Observer of the Global Fund | Aidspan

You are so multifaceted. Your ability to listen, to feel and respond with graphic art is striking. It’s like your presence is seen and felt but in such a gentle way that it isn’t a distraction. Your ability to hold space and keep us on track is a huge gift. I never felt rushed or boxed in, but I always felt on track. I also think you have an amazing energy that contributed to the overall energy level in the room which opened the space for vulnerabilities and honesty. I appreciated your intuition to know when to move on and when to go deeper. Thank you for the last two days. You were an amazing facilitator and overall contribution to the work!!
