Tools for Weaving the Future

Many of us question whether our everyday work is truly making the difference we want to see in the world…

These courses are for anyone looking for support in making ambitious changes - whether through non-profit, government, business, or grassroots. We draw on different ways of knowing like intuition and emotional intelligence, while also bringing in user-friendly tools and a systematic approach to making changes.

We aim to help you:

  • Realize that making ambitious, meaningful change is possible.

  • Address the gap between ambitious visions and everyday work 

  • Draw on research and theories complexity and systems change while not getting lost in the details

  • Alter our relationship with the systems we live and work with, by shifting root causes.

  • Identify accessible tools and approaches that can help you make tangible and meaningful changes

INDIVIDUAL COURSES

Individual courses help you understand specific tools and approaches that can help you move closer to making the difference you hope to see in the world.

These sessions have been developed for an audience of individuals from different organisations. You will learn and share with other participants, drawing on a project you are currently working on or want to build.

You will leave the course with a rough draft of a theory of change and/or evaluation plan for your work, with guidance for identifying next steps to move forward.

TAILORED COURSES

Tailored courses help you move closer to making the difference you hope to see in the world. This includes identifying where you may be stuck, understanding what is working and not working, and identifying tangible steps for moving forward.

Tailored courses can be done with your full team, or one-on-one. We meet your specific needs by finding the sweet spot between:

  • Capacity building - instruction and sharing resources

  • Coaching - discussion, supporting you to take next steps and develop documents

  • Consulting - preparing draft deliverables for your team based on what we discuss

  • "I would recommend this program to anyone looking at meaningful change.

    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.”

  • “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."

  • "Robyn's gentle and affirmative presence gave a feeling of groundedness and comfort through our process."
