A custom-built, process-driven approach to empowering effective collaboration .
Get a partner and a roadmap to help you facilitate meaningful dialogue and drive collective action towards your goals.
Working together as a team or coalition is challenging without a structured process and clear objectives.
If you don’t have a facilitator:
Meetings lack direction and focus
Key decisions are delayed or postponed
Progress is difficult to gauge and achieve
And that leads to a frustrating lack of cohesion, engagement, and achievement.
We don’t want that for you.
Shannon Parris Consulting facilitates collaboration for nonprofit and small business teams, as well as coalitions of organizations working together toward shared goals.
We can facilitate collaboration, trust building, and progress for you, too.
Most leaders recognize the importance of collaboration and teamwork, but they struggle to facilitate effective group processes and discussions.
At Shannon Parris Consulting, we understand the challenges of fostering productive collaboration. In order to facilitate meaningful dialogue and drive collective action, you need a skilled facilitator and a structured approach.
The problem is that without proper facilitation, meetings often become unproductive, leading to wasted time and energy.
We believe that effective facilitation is essential for driving results and achieving organizational goals.
We understand that it’s hard to facilitate a group that you’re a part of, which is why we offer expert facilitation services tailored to your specific needs, so you can maximize the productivity and impact of your team collaborations.
Our approach to facilitation isn’t boilerplate; it’s deeply rooted in the context of your organization or coalition’s past work together and will help you navigate your path forward based on trust and a shared understanding of your collective goals.
Collaboration is tricky. You shouldn’t have to go it alone. You need a facilitator.
“Shannon has become my ‘Secret Weapon,’ a trusted ally in this ecosystem building work. We were stalled on a problem for over a year until Shannon helped create a plan that turned the entire project around within a month.”

We’ll work together to identify a way to work together that fits into your budget and meets your needs, from “quick and dirty” audits when you need the work to be done yesterday, to more thorough, context-driven plans when you have the capacity to commit to a deeper engagement or need the added support.
