What it means to fleurish
At Fleurish Consulting, we believe that every gathering is an opportunity to cultivate belonging. “Fleur,” the French word, meaning to flower, bloom, or blossom, embodies what happens when we nurture our communities and the needs of the people who are a part of them. Our approach aims to elevate the way you gather so that your community fleurishes.
How we help you fleurish
While new knowledge expands our minds, deep connection with others expands our souls. We don’t stick around for the content, but for the community that fleurishes around it. Let’s create experiences that catalyze connection in your community.
Workshops
Our Expertise
We offer workshops that showcase strategic methodologies along with practical, adaptable tools for designing and facilitating gatherings. Our goal is to maximize connection and help you bring others into your community.
Your Experience
A client approached us to present to a national group of educators on strategies to cultivate connection between teens and seniors. We used their goals to create a 45 minute, virtual, interactive session equipped with adaptable tools for participants to use in their settings.
Consulting
Our Expertise
We partner with you to design an engagement strategy for your upcoming meeting, retreat, conference or immersive experience to ensure community fleurishes around the unique content you provide.
Your Experience
A client approached us to design an engagement strategy for their upcoming national conference. Our team used their goals to create an arc of experience for the conference infusing relational elements throughout all aspects from check-in, to workshop breaks, to the conference ending.
Facilitation
Our Expertise
As a seasoned facilitator, I’ll be there on the day of your gathering to help ensure that connection fleurishes throughout every aspect - from a brilliant beginning, to an epic ending, and every space in between.
Your Experience
A client approached us to co-facilitate their content during a day-long workshop. We had a number of preparations meetings to ensure alignment between the session goals and facilitation techniques before facilitation day.
