Facilitation
“Yabome demonstrated a powerful ability to make us (as her clients) feel heard. She was able to navigate the tricky territory of allowing space to process and be heard while keeping us on track and holding our feet to the fire in making the difficult decisions we needed to as a group.”
– Client Feedback
“The facilitator [Yabome] set a great example of excellent facilitation skills, giving/making meaning in the process. Wish we could have a DVD to learn from her and model her meaning-making and facilitation skills.”
– Client Feedback
Systemic Change
Achieve your desired strategic systems change outcomes especially for previously ‘unsolvable’ organizational change issues. Contact Yabome when your change efforts have been well planned and implemented…yet, the results tell a different story. People have not changed. Desired change outcomes have been minimally attained and change has not sustained.
“The change is even more complex than I realized… [but] I’m energized to take my [change] action and improve team dynamics.”

In fact, our entire organization continues to this day in large part because of Yabome.”
