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.

How do you adapt facilitation for teams in Newfoundland and Labrador?
We consider the communication style, pace, and organizational culture typical in this region. Facilitators take care to build trust and encourage participation early in the process. Sessions are designed to be thoughtful, clear, and collaborative. We focus on outcomes without rushing the group’s natural rhythm.
Do you offer facilitation for smaller or informal teams?
Yes, we work with small teams, leadership pairs, or working groups that need clarity and collaboration support. Whether it’s a two-person partnership or a 12-person project team, facilitation adds structure to complex conversations. Our sessions help surface assumptions and move things forward. Every group benefits from intentional dialogue.
What if our team is unfamiliar with facilitation?
We explain the process clearly and ensure everyone knows what to expect before the session begins. Our facilitators set a tone of psychological safety and inclusion. There’s no jargon, no pressure, and no expectation to perform. People are more open when they understand why we’re meeting and what success looks like.
Are there in-person and virtual facilitation options for St. John’s?
Yes, we offer both on-site and remote facilitation services. In-person sessions are available across Newfoundland, while virtual formats allow us to work with distributed teams. Many clients in St. John’s prefer hybrid formats that blend both. We’re flexible in how we support you.
What kinds of challenges does facilitation help resolve?
Facilitation helps with misalignment, strategic confusion, communication breakdowns, or lack of shared direction. Whether you’re experiencing stalled projects or decision fatigue, a structured session creates movement. We don’t impose content, but help you get clear together. That’s especially useful when priorities shift or teams are growing.
How do you ensure every voice is heard during a session?
We use inclusive facilitation techniques such as silent brainstorming, small group work, and visual mapping. These methods support introverts and extroverts equally. Participants are never put on the spot. The design makes space for all types of input.
Can facilitation help align board and staff leadership?
Yes, aligning governance and operations is one of the most common goals for facilitation. We help clarify roles, priorities, and expectations between boards and executive teams. Sessions emphasize mutual respect and constructive disagreement. It leads to stronger collaboration and shared accountability.
