Communication, Community & Organizational Transformative Change
Facilitation, consulting, coaching, programs, retreats, and training to empower your leadership, team, community, organization, or institution for generative social impact, inclusive process, and relational cohesion.
EmpowR Transformation facilitates trauma informed group communication to vision and cocreate cultural shifts towards collective belonging, liberation, and resilience in the people, organizations, and systems we work with. Our approach cultivates collaborative teamwork, identities and implements shared organizational values and norms, addresses conflict evolution, strengthens working relationships and communication, and provides skill building for how your team navigates internal and external challenges.
EmpowR Transformation works with your group or team to:
- Build your capacity for how to implement equity-centered organizational change and ways to approach the conflict that arises in the process.
- Cocreate collaborative project management with your team.
- Generate team skill building in communication, emotional intelligence, radical empathy, relationships, and trauma responsiveness for more effective impact of your internal and external goals.
- Integrate somatic approaches to transform perspectives, behaviors, and patterns that influence transformational change in systems and culture.
- Navigate visioning of complex situations through a systems change lens with collective impact frameworks.
Work with clients draws from diverse expertise and lived experiences of the EmpowR Web of advisors, collaborators, facilitators, and practitioners. We are also available for subcontractor work and enjoy collaborating with equity adjacent consultants and partners.
EmpowR Transformation is an active contractor in the SAM government contract system and is eligible to work with municipal, state, and federal government contracts.

“EmpowR Transformation facilitation created meaningful and memorable activities centered in careful listening. We all felt safe and nurtured through challenging conversations and found connections in unanticipated ways. EmpowR Transformations offered some unique experiences and perspectives to a community that felt fractured and disconnected. We all learned new things about ourselves and our neighbors.”
~ Susan Abell, Cathedral Square
“EmpowR Transformation was extremely helpful to our organization in facilitating conversation around a controversial topic. The facilitation was well structured in a way that allowed all of the folks in the conversation to have equal time to express their thoughts in response to prompts provided. The facilitator was able to course-correct when folks wandered off of the prompt in a kind but firm way. The somatic approach was appreciated, pausing after moments of heightened emotion for people to come back into their bodies and regulate their emotions. Would definitely recommend EmpowR Transformation for facilitation!”
~ Jamie Shechtman, nonprofit board president
