Is your organization on the cusp of change? Is something wanting to happen but no one knows exactly what it is or perhaps everyone has a very different idea of what it is and are pushing hard, causing conflict and congestion?
Organizations are systems that are greater than the sum of their parts and each has its own particular development and evolution. All the parts of the system have a piece of wisdom of the greater whole, and therefore it benefits the system to hear all perspectives and for all perspectives to be conscious of the whole.
Jennifer can help reflect your organization back to itself so in the process it transforms and develops to its next incarnation. She uses a variety of tools drawn from the fields of organizational development, group process, diversity training, intercultural communication, sociometry, applied theater and creativity coaching.
Your organization may be stuck, ready for new board members and new donors. It may need a new strategic plan, visioning, or priority clarification. Your organization may want to re-affirm its values, figure out next steps, or just air a challenging issue where all members wish to be present as active participants, not facilitators. Jennifer can work with you on a short term or long term basis depending on your specific needs.
Your organization can have help with:
- Fundraising training
- Board development
- Visioning
- Brainstorming
- Strategizing
- Decision-making
- Mediation and conflict resolution
- Bringing to light difficult issues involving class and race
- Surfacing different points of view
- Networking/Coalition building

“Without exception the participating managers, union leaders, teachers, learners and professors at our program retreat had only the best things to say about Jenny’s facilitation skills”: “Superb facilitator” “Fabulous” “Brought us all together” “Interactive in an exciting way”
Joe Connolly, Ed.D, University of Massachusetts Labor/Management Workplace Education
“Jenny Ladd is gentle, thorough and insightful in her work with individuals and groups. Jenny takes great care for the inclusion of all parties while holding on to the big picture and the key issues that need to be addressed.”
Jerry Koch-Gonzalez,Co-founder, Institute for Peaceable Communities
“Jenny has a rare combination of both courage and compassion in her work. She has a tremendous capacity to “hold the heart” of a group or an individual when they are engaged in the brave work of walking up to, and through, developmental edges. She knows how to maintain great faith and care for people as they wake up to the calling of their next steps, and as they seek to span the distance between where they are and where they want/need to be.”
Kristi Nelson, Director of Development, Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health
“Jenny has a keen ability to listen and discern, which, combined with her illuminating creativity and potent theater/drama and participatory activities that she uses in her work with money, class, wealth building and philanthropy, brings a depth of wisdom to the solutions she helps co-design with colleagues and clients.”
Clemens Pietzner, President, Triskeles Foundation
