About FIG

FIG began as a seed in the form of “What if?”

>> What if people freely shared their ideas without second thought or fear of being ridiculed? 

>> What if we could crowdsource solutions to a challenge or opportunity?

>> What if we could get stuff done, be creative, AND have fun at the same time?  

So many what ifs turned into “Why not?”

I firmly believe that people, regardless of their background, education, title, age, experience, fill in the blank, have the power to do great things, sometimes they may need guidance or a path forward.

This where I come in.  I LOVE creating unique, fun, and creative experiences for people’s minds to flourish and solves big problems or reach for grand opportunities. FIG experiences utilize a range of facilitation tools focused on achieving outcomes while being creative and having fun.  For many years I have facilitated workshops, retreats, innovation tournaments in both in-person and virtual environments for groups ranging from 5 to over 70 people.
