What I Do
At Strategic Facilitation, I specialize in guiding NGOs, coalitions, and organizations through strategic planning, facilitation, and effective campaign management. My approach is collaborative and tailored, ensuring that each project is not only productive but also empowers your team to take decisive action.
"Emily is a clear strategic thinker. I have worked with Emily in two NGO coalitions where the partners have had a range of environmental, social and animal welfare priorities. She has a great gift for ensuring that multiple projects are well-coordinated and run smoothly and that all the coalition partners are kept fully aware of the coalition’s many activities and deadlines."
Peter Stevenson OBE, Chief Policy Advisor, Compassion in World Farming
"Emily has been amazing at facilitating dynamic and inclusive discussions, ensuring all voices are heard while guiding teams towards strategic, actionable outcomes. Their ability to craft and implement effective campaign strategies demonstrates her strength in aligning teams from all around the world with big-picture goals. Emily's strategic foresight and facilitation skills make her an invaluable asset to any initiative focused on driving change and impact."
Bianca Inês Pedro - Co-Director, People's Planet Project
"Emily is a thorough and really creative facilitator. But that doesn't mean the team gets distracted by shiny shiny things; quite the opposite. Strategic Facilitation pick and choose exactly the right tools to help groups of people with very different job roles and viewpoints to reach consensus in an exciting and accessible way. Whenever I work with Emily I know the cats are going to be herded smoothly."
Rachel Collinson, Director, Donor Whisperer
"Emily's practical and thoughtful facilitation was a breath of fresh air. Our team emerged from the process with a new sense of purpose, decisions made with full ownership and consent of the team, and a broad consensus on a bright future ahead of us."
Zoe Williams, Interim Director, Vagina Museum UK
"Emily is an incredible facilitator and skilled strategic thinker. Having worked closely with Emily on a coalition steering committee, I have seen her guide conversations with the right questions and use collaborative and creative facilitation to hone in on collective strategy. She is also an excellent listener and an all-around lovely person to work with."
