Facilitation, guidance and
partnership mediation
I work within a partnership dynamic throughout the partnership cycle (see below) to help build bridges between different perspectives. From scoping and facilitating to reviewing and revising, my facilitation and guidance work accelerates progress within a complex partnership.
Here are some of the ways I can help:
• Identify potential partners
• Co-design partnership agreements
• Navigate difficult conversations
• Partnership health checks
I focus on personal and partnering skill development for the best possible collaborative outcome. My empathetic approach to relationship management allows me to tailor solutions to the needs of the organisations and people I work with.
Driven by the potential of partnerships to create a stronger, more inclusive society, I bring a unique set of skills and depth of experience in collaboration techniques. I've helped many organisations ignite and sustain partnerships that work.
Through my facilitation, mediation and guidance work, I can be involved in all, or part, of the partnering cycle:
Some of the organisations I’ve worked with include:
Testimonial
“We’ve worked with Belinda for over a decade, on collaborative initiatives within New Zealand, and across many other countries and cultures. Her ability to identify issues, propose relevant solutions, and ensure all parties are heard and focusing on equity within the collaboration are some of her strongest skills. She is thoughtful in her approach, and understands all sectors – public sector, private and civil society – and is skillful at navigating complex scenarios. I recommend her very highly for all cross-sector collaborative work.”
