Partners
Oxfam International · GRID Impact
Project
Co-design, coaching & facilitation for Oxfam International - an international confederation of nonprofits.
Role
Facilitator & Co-Lead
Outcome
In 2024, I partnered with GRID Impact and Oxfam International to co-design and co-facilitate a week-long, confederation-wide gathering in Nairobi, Kenya.
The purpose of this gathering was to catalyze operational leadership, confidence, alignment, and capacity as strategic enablers for advancing Oxfam’s commitments to feminism, anti-racism, decolonization, and its broader mission and values.
Through deep reflection, guided connection, and participatory work sessions, operations leaders from across the confederation collaborated across functions and levels. Together, they diagnosed organizational misalignments and co-created an action plan to bring greater congruence between Oxfam’s external impact and its internal ways of working - across people, processes, and technology.

“Thank you for the way in which you have so deftly led us through both sticky conversations and sprinkled fairy dust in our plenary space. You led, challenged and created spaces for us to play. We are changed for better through your interventions.”
