A culture of safety and belonging begins with connection, relationship and accountability to each other.
We’re supporting mission-driven organizations in collaboratively meeting challenges, building healthier relationships and pursing a shared vision.
As a conflict resolution practitioner with extensive experience teaching Restorative Practices and Conflict Resolution to both adults and students, I’ve often heard, “You need to be sharing this with adults everywhere.”
I’ve launched Creating Cohesion because, now more than ever, these skills are essential.
Elements for Creating Cohesion
When working towards your mission and vision, these three elements create a culture of collaboration that can withstand challenges and move forward with creativity and effective partnership.
I believe a focus on healthier relationships can change the world.
Twenty-two years ago, a college professor changed my life. What if conflict resolution was explicitly taught in schools? What impact would that have on our society? The idea was striking and set me on my path as a conflict resolution educator.
With a lens on equity and social systems, I have dedicated myself to peacebuilding and conflict resolution by educating and working with a diverse range of organizations and individuals. My background combines academic expertise, engaging facilitation skills, and global cultural awareness. I am committed to fostering safety, belonging and collaboration in both educational and organizational settings.
With Creating Cohesion, I have partnered with trusted leaders to bring Restorative Practices to life for others.
