We bring groups together — in real space and virtually — to effectively address societal issues through shared interests or goals, and we have a strong record as a community of practice convener and facilitator, particularly for geographically dispersed stakeholders with imperfectly aligned interests and motivations. We develop strong, participant-centered curriculum and can facilitate associated trainings or train your staff to do so. We can also work with you to design and facilitate productive, interesting retreats and other types of internal convenings for your staff and board.
“I had the absolute pleasure of working with Cities and People for the past few months! Such an incredibly professional, light hearted, welcoming and engaging group of facilitators and coaches! Being able to host 2 plus hour learning sessions through Zoom and keep everyone engaged with valuable information is no easy feat but they managed to do it with such grace!”
We support Street Soccer USA with technical assistance. Our weekly one on one training sessions will give them the power to effectively and efficiently evaluate future projects and programs. This will inevitably help them achieve their mission – Strengthening Communities Through Soccer From the Bottom Up.
Throughout 2023, while facilitating the five-year strategic visioning and planning process of the California Work & Family Coalition, a coalition that focuses on paid family leave, sick days, and safety days for workers throughout California, Cities & People was asked to provide bi-weekly executive coaching for the organization’s Executive Director. The coaching focused on staff management, supervision, motivation, and goal-setting, as well as organizational development, member and partner relationship-building, and change management.
Throughout 2024, we provided executive coaching for Evironmental Health Coalition’s Executive Director to support executive decision-making and goal implementation. We also provided team coaching services to the Administration/Human Resources Team to support them in increasing effectiveness through stronger communication, collaboration, and trust-building.
