Work With Us
We provide tangible pathways to manifest Good Work, by cultivating the conditions for sharing power, conflict resilience, collaboration, and belonging, or what we call “deep democracy”.
We work with individuals, organizations, businesses, and community initiatives through public workshops, tailored learning experiences, inspiring presentations, and supportive guidance through facilitation and coaching.
Our approach fosters a spirit of openness and curiosity, where everyone, ourselves included, can operate with a creative “beginner’s mind” as we move towards ever deepening commitment to manifest equity and resilience for the Good Work ahead. We listen, encourage, suggest next steps, offer tools and frameworks, and invite movement towards your goals with compassion, humility, and care.

Workshops
We believe that our collaborations and workplaces can be laboratories for Just Transition in action. Through our workshops, we offer frameworks, skills, and tools aligned with democratic ways of working together that we can all learn and practice: shared leadership and distributed power, conflict resilience, nonviolent communication, and consciously working towards social equity and racial justice. We offer public workshops. We can also craft tailored offerings for specific contexts, collaborative groups and organizations.
Facilitation
GWI facilitators and trainers hold space with a clear intention: to create the conditions for meaningful and equitable collaboration and learning. We approach our facilitation work as an opportunity to weave content and practice together, moving a group towards clarity, connection, and progress.
Whether you are seeking support for a team retreat, a strategy session, a tailored training, or a community engagement process, we can help you design sessions that increase participation, encourage a sense of belonging, and bolster conflict resilience. We have worked with a wide array of organizations, institutions, nonprofits, and universities to provide unique and empowering experiences.
Coaching
Committing to a journey to practice democracy at work, building trust, shifting your culture and your internal policies, freeing up capacity, changing your decision-making practices, and/or entering into joyful collaboration: this is what our coaching practice seeks to help you do.
We accompany organizations and groups that are ready to commit to make changes in how they operate, offering guidance and training to democratize workplaces and build skills in sharing power.
Public Speaking
GWI speakers create and deliver impactful presentations and keynotes that inspire and connect people doing Good Work. We have been featured as presenters, moderators, and MCs for conferences, seminars, classes, and events.
