Facilitation services

Our approach supports people to listen deeply across differences; build understanding; and pool perspectives to reach collaborative and creative outcomes. 

We recognise that emotions are always at play, and we support people and groups to interact with compassion and awareness.

With high-quality facilitation, challenging dynamics can become opportunities to boost connection, effectiveness and innovation.

We provide facilitation and advisory services to help you in the following areas and more.

  • Team building & forming

    Creating efficient and collaborative teams requires space for connection and reflection. We support teams to solidify common values and ways of working, to build rapport and to evolve together.

    We devise processes to suit your team’s unique circumstances, whether it’s a new group, or a team working through change or challenge.

From our clients

  • “It created a space for colleagues from different areas to feel safe with each other, to learn and be open, and to practice facilitation skills in the context of our daily work. It was tailored to our needs.”

    Staff member, Department of Health

  • “Adaptive Cultures work in the business of helping clients transform culture and often that involves building capacity for difficult conversations. We hired Steve for our team offsites to ‘practice what we preach’ and build our capacity to communicate more effectively within our team. Although we started in a good place in having difficult conversations Steve's work took it to the next level."

    Dr Alex Stol, Adaptive Cultures

  • “The course kept participants active, engaged and constantly reflecting and learning”

  • “I felt like a really safe and trusting container was built to share honest expression. I felt like I initially was intimidated by not being in a leadership role but after session four felt a lot more equality and less power and rank.“
