Weaving the Future

Helping you make meaningful change in the world

Many agree that the current system is not sustainable …

Weaving the Future is an ambitious project aiming to:

Ignite a thirst and desire for transformation in our communities and society as a whole
Identify a clear vision and concrete understanding of what that transformation will lead to and what the steps along the way will look like
Recognize oneself as a part of that transformation
Leave with concrete steps for tapping into that transformation

“I participated in Robyn's courses on change and evaluation in July 2023. The content is very thorough and yet accessible. It also has some new ways of thinking and engaging in the subject matter. Robyn's facilitation is engaging, she is a great listener and asks powerful questions that invite you to dig deeper into what matters and why. I would recommend this program to anyone looking at meaningful change.”

Robyn is a total joy to work with. She's a patient and thoughtful systems thinker who most definitely takes a utilization-focused approach to evaluation. She challenges her clients to move beyond seeing evaluation as an isolated activity toward embedding evaluative thinking and reflection into the organization as a whole. I have hugely appreciated her flexible and emergent philosophy, her commitment to centering and listening to the needs of the organizations and communities with whom she works, and her eagerness to learn alongside her clients.

“The Theory of Change that we created during the course centres our team when we are pulled in different directions. We have used the Theory of Change and other course concepts to develop program guidance documents such as a roadmap for our work that illustrates our approaches and guideposts. Our work is responsive to the community context and emerging issues - we refer back to these program tools to ground ourselves in our core approaches and goals.”

"Robyn approaches her workshop and course facilitation from a place of soft disruption, high empathy, and open curiosity. She knows how to gently steer conversations around change and evaluation into moments where people receive clarity and insights which help further support the organization they are a part of. If you are looking for someone who will approach change, evaluation, strategy, and leadership from a place of care and compassion, Robyn is a great fit for you."

“I worked with Robyn on a major evaluation project ... involving multiple stakeholders, departments, and sites in a large provincial employer. Robyn’s approach was professional, respectful, and ethical. She was sensitive to the needs of the organization and stakeholders while still respecting the overall project goals and timelines. Robyn’s interpersonal style and communication skills were important to finding this balance, which is often very difficult to achieve.”

“The Doorway is a community project and was created as an experiment in social change, to challenge traditional approaches and imagine new thought and practice to more effectively assist long term street dependent young people seeking to exit street life. Robyn and her team worked to be very responsive to the uniqueness of The Doorway Approach in our work with young people. They were committed to ensure that the complexities and nuances were reflected in the theory of change and evaluation framework we developed together.”

Marilyn Dyck, The Doorway
Robyn is a brilliant evaluation specialist who excels at taking large, complex projects, and applying methodological rigor and organization to them.

I worked with Robyn on a project to develop evaluation capacity in a department within the National Council on Educational Research and Training in New Delhi, India. I was impressed by Robyn’s ultra-fast mind and her ability to work comfortably and effectively with people of all ages and backgrounds. I perceived a talent for problem solving, a love for learning, a great sense of humour and a deep interest in music, art and science.
