Featured Workshop
COMS Communication Styles
COMS Communication Styles draws inspiration from Paul Costa and Robert McCrae’s research on the Big Five Personality Model, introducing how different personality styles prefer to communicate along the spectrums of result-driven vs. interpersonal and reflective vs. assertive.
COMS is an interactive communication styles exploration. Through answering 8 strategically designed questions, you and your team will gain valuable insights into how individuals tend to communicate and interact. By visualising this into a simple but effective grid and delivering an interactive workshop, it can be instrumental in improving team dynamics, reducing conflict, and fostering more effective communication across the organization. Each of the four identified style has its strengths in different contexts. Your team will leave the session knowing with a deeper understanding and appreciation for diverse communication styles as well as how to leverage each approach and adapt their style to maximize impact and drive positive outcomes.
Strategic Planning
This isn’t just another corporate exercise – it’s a chance for you to engage your team in the planning and execution of the organization and an opportunity to align on strategic planning initiatives and actions.
As strategic planning facilitators, we guide organizations through the strategic planning process. We don’t dictate solutions to you, we enable your groups to co-create strategies based knowledge, experience and diversity. We create an environment conducive to open dialogue, innovation, critical thinking, and collaborative decision-making. This role is distinct in that it focuses on empowering your organization rather than imposing external ideas. Our award-winning facilitators are catalysts for transformative decision-making and planning. We do, however, offer guidance and insight into how other organizations operate and offer suggestions you may wish to implement. To us, strategic planning is more than just a single planning session. We work with our clients to help them navigate the strategic plan throughout the months and even years ahead. With our objective lens, we are well-positioned to offer insights into the strategic plan and execution tactics.
FAQs for Nova Scotia Facilitator
What types of organizations in Nova Scotia benefit most from facilitation?
Organizations of all sizes across sectors benefit from structured facilitation. In Nova Scotia, we’ve worked with health networks, nonprofits, universities, municipal governments, and private companies. Facilitation supports strategic alignment, cultural change, and decision-making across diverse teams. The approach is adaptable to both large institutions and smaller local teams.
Do you offer in-person facilitation across rural and urban areas of Nova Scotia?
Yes, we work with groups across the province, including Halifax, Cape Breton, and more remote regions. Sessions can be held in person, virtually, or as a hybrid depending on what’s most accessible. We account for geography, team size, and connectivity in our planning. Our facilitators are familiar with delivering inclusive sessions in different formats.
How is facilitation different from group training or consulting?
Facilitation centers on guiding a process that helps your team surface insights and make aligned decisions. Unlike training, which focuses on skill-building, or consulting, which delivers external recommendations, facilitation empowers your team to own its direction. We bring structure and neutrality to ensure discussions stay focused and constructive. The result is stronger alignment and shared clarity.
What are some common reasons teams in Nova Scotia request facilitation?
Typical reasons include navigating growth, planning strategically, improving communication, or building stronger teams. Facilitation also supports conflict resolution, role clarity, and prioritization. Many Nova Scotia organizations use it to bring new leadership teams together. We tailor each session to your context and goals.
How do you prepare for a facilitation engagement?
We start by learning about your team, challenges, and goals. From there, we co-design the session structure, determine the best format, and plan any supporting materials. Pre-session conversations ensure clarity on purpose and expectations. This process helps us deliver sessions that feel relevant and well-paced.
What should we expect during a facilitated session?
Facilitated sessions are active, focused, and inclusive. We guide your team through structured discussions, exercises, and reflection. Everyone has the opportunity to contribute, and decisions are built collaboratively. Sessions are designed to move your group forward with clarity and shared agreement.
Can facilitation help with interdepartmental or cross-sector collaboration?
Yes, facilitation is often used to align departments or bring together organizations with overlapping goals. We help ensure all voices are heard, common interests are clarified, and concrete next steps are defined. When used well, facilitation reduces duplication and builds commitment. It’s especially helpful when priorities are evolving or multiple groups must act together.
Do you provide follow-up or documentation after the session?
Yes, we can provide notes, visuals, key themes, or summary reports depending on your needs. Some groups prefer a simple action summary, while others request more formal deliverables. We tailor follow-up support to ensure your team keeps momentum. Let us know what format helps your group follow through.
