consulting & keynotes
support for your organization or event
We want to support your organization, church, community group, government department, or nonprofit. We tailor our consulting services, workshops, and keynote addresses to meet the needs of whatever moment you’re navigating.
Here are a few of the ways our work has been tailored for our clients:
- Consultation with a national agency trying to decide their relevance for the future.
- Keynote address for international conference of equine assisted therapists.
- Retreat for family members supporting military personnel with PTSD.
- Development of a specialized training program for educators working with immigrants and other marginalized people.
- Retreat for high-level executives on the verge of burnout.
- Specialized workshop for therapists and other specialists working in grief and trauma.
- Keynote addresses and workshops for hospice care workers, educators, coaches, and home economists.
If you want to grow the capacity to have better conversations in your workplace, support your leaders in tending to their own mental health, or strengthen the capacity for people to stay present during difficult circumstances, we, at the Centre for Holding Space, want to help.
Workshops
We can develop a workshop to meet your organization’s needs, whether it’s on collaborative leadership, human development, burnout, healthy boundaries, emotional intelligence, navigating change, or community building.
keynote addresses
Heather or another member of our team would be happy to speak at your conference, in your workplace, or at your staff retreat – either in-person or online. We develop keynote addresses related to our work in holding space, leadership, tenderness, collaboration, liminal space, etc.
consulting
We’re available to consult with you or your leadership team on things like navigating change, supporting people in times of disruption, transforming conflict, or growing the emotional intelligence of your leadership team.
licensed resources
Especially for organizations that offer support to people (education, medicine, hospice, mental health, etc.), we can train your people and develop in-house training programs with our licensed material (i.e How to Hold Space) tailored specially for your needs.
from a client
“For almost a decade we had heard a theme in the adult learning world that our people are often called on to be more than literacy ‘teachers’. They are in the air, on the ground, and everywhere in between for their communities and their clients. There are people in the system who have been waiting for this kind of opportunity to develop the skills for coaching while also building their own resilience and capacity to set boundaries. This program is an interesting place for those who are ready to explore inward and outward and strengthen their skills for supporting learners; for senior staff — it impacts how they work with and connect to their staff. It gets to the core of the culture we are aiming to have — to be whole-person focused, while providing our specific set of programs and services.”
