Facilitation & Consulting

For Teams, Leaders, & Organizations

I partner with organizations, teams, and institutions to support clarity, development, and human-centered ways of working, grounded in a Culture of Care .

This work creates space for thoughtful conversation, shared understanding, and forward movement — whether navigating change, strengthening culture, or investing in ongoing growth.

What This Work Supports

This work supports organizations, teams, and community groups of all sizes — from large institutions to small, mission-driven organizations and cross-functional teams.

Engagements are collaborative and context-specific, designed to create space for clarity, shared understanding, and thoughtful movement forward. The focus is not on quick fixes, but on building conditions that support people and systems over time.

What This Work Can Include

Facilitation and consulting engagements may include:

  • Facilitated conversations and workshops

  • Team and leadership development sessions

  • Strategic reflection and planning conversations

  • Emotional intelligence in real work contexts

  • Support during periods of change, growth, or transition

  • Community-facing or cross-functional dialogue

Topics These Conversations Often Explore

  • Stress, burnout, and sustainable ways of working

  • Capacity, focus, and effectiveness at work

  • Emotional intelligence in real work contexts

  • Boundaries, balance, and role clarity

Why Facilitation & Consulting:

Facilitation creates the conditions for meaningful work to happen — especially in moments of complexity, change, or growth.

Rather than prescribing solutions, this approach centers conversation, reflection, and shared responsibility. It allows teams to surface what matters, address challenges directly, and make decisions aligned with their values and realities.

Who This Work Is For

This work is well suited for:

  • Executive and frontline leaders

  • HR, People Operations, DEI, and Learning & Development teams

  • Organizations seeking more human-centered ways of working

  • Teams navigating change, complexity, or growth

  • Institutions and community-based organizations

  • Presence, attention, and communication

  • Reflection, decision-making, and next steps

  • Women, leadership, and lived experiences

  • Transition, grief, and end of life considerations

Community Programs & Public Offerings

In addition to organizational consulting, I also facilitate community-based and public programs under The Work of Transition — guided conversations focused on reflection, meaning-making, and shared understanding.

These offerings are designed for groups and communities seeking space to explore change, growth, and the human dimensions of work and life together.

What Organizations and Participants Have Shared

For Microsoft’s celebration of International Women’s Day in New England ... our Women’s Employee Resource Group (ERG) were treated to a virtual session with MaryEllen on how to gain strategies and plans to improve their mood, energy, and relationships ... With staff working at home more, our ERG wanted to help our employees reduce the risk of burnout and MaryEllen was the perfect speaker to offer solutions.

The session was great and Meg was excellent. EI is something I’ve been interested in for a number of years and not only did she refresh my memory, she even taught me a few new things!

It was a great program with some specific guidance towards unpacking why we think and feel the way we do. Excellent presentation, would highly recommend to others.

MaryEllen’s passion for creating inclusive, fun and energetic experiences can be attributed to her years of experience in both the corporate and wellness space. During a time where diversity, equity and inclusion is more important than ever, you can rely on MaryEllen to support and guide all skill levels. Her professionalism is unbeatable.

I liked how you made us feel comfortable (music, low-key, etc.) and were able to flip your class materials on the fly to accomodate us.
