Facilitation Services
Hold a workshop that cuts straight to the point
I take your technical content and create a seamless, memorable workshop or conference. Engage the room to achieve your desired outcomes with full participation.
No more wasted time and effort; get to the good stuff fast.
I get up to speed, at pace. You don’t need another technical expert. You need a facilitator who understands your content enough that the design makes sense and your participants trust the process.
Everything I do is designed to get you the best outcomes in the shortest time.
With analytical experience across many industries, I create meaningful workshops grounded in enough technical knowledge, without being an expert. My unique view stops me getting bogged down in specialist detail, keeping me strategic and focused on outcomes.
For 2 to 200 people.
I’ll gather everyone’s attention, focus and energy to create their own momentum. I think on my feet if participants want something additional when the session is in flow. There’s always full flexibility with the end goal in sight.

How I can help
Workshop streategy development
Understand what you need, who should be in the room, and the best format for making it all happen.
Stakeholder consultation, surveys and engagement
Sometimes in support of the workshop, sometimes as a stand alone item, and sometimes driving another project, effective stakeholder engagement improves the entire outcome. Get what you need from the people who matter..
Detailed agenda, hands-on activities
Get more out of your time. I use activities you won’t have thought of and create a structure that ensures input from everyone to meet your outcomes.
Human centrered design and delivery
Move beyond a glorified meeting format with full engagement for maximum impact.
Effective, fun team building
Keep people engaged by making it fun. Laughing together releases endorphins and improves relationships through shared experience.
Strategy and planning reports
Get clear on the outcomes and where to from here. The work starts with the facilitated workshop and finishes out in the real world as you bring decisions to life.
Coaching and leadership briefings
I work with your leaders following the planning day to embed positive working practices and cultural change. Individual coaching supports leadership development.
How I work
Enthusiastic and engaging, my informal, interactive style means everyone feels comfortable and enjoys the process.
Give everyone a voice.
Using a collaborative approach I manage conversation and information flow. I know when to stop for input. You get heard and they get heard.
Our workshops go beyond your expectations.
Activities create interactive learning experiences and ensure everyone participates. You access the full diversity of thought in the room for better innovation and problem solving, and we accommodate different learning and thinking styles.
With a wealth of facilitation experience, I create workshops and team building sessions that pack a punch.
You get what you need, the team connects and aligns, your culture and performance both improve.

What people say

Why use a facilitator at all?
Bring people together to co-create the solution. You could do it alone, but there’s a risk people won’t buy into your ideas if they haven’t had the chance to contribute. And if you’re up front driving the session, it often looks like you’re also driving your own agenda.
You get the best outcomes when everyone is part of the conversation.
My structured approach to facilitation encourages everyone to participate, whether they’re normally the loudest person in the room or the quiet person in the corner.
Enhancing your content to get more from your people, facilitation results in clearer outcomes and increased innovation. If you’re trying to solve a difficult problem, I can move the conversation along whilst remaining neutral.
The best part is, you’ll be hands free.
You get to do what you do best, while we manage timelines and keep everyone engaged. And if tensions heighten? Difficult conversations require skill to navigate, and a neutral external party can hold space without things getting heated.
Running a workshop is harder than you think.
You could run a meeting tomorrow, but it might not get you what you need. To get incredible outcomes you need skill, experience, time and energy.
The right agenda, the tone in the room, and how you engage with your stakeholders will make the difference. Build momentum with breakthrough ideas, so it’s not ‘just another meeting’.

Hi, I’m Samantha Sutherland.

Engaging, energetic and passionate, I think we need to make work more human. I love working with a room full of people to get them all working together collaboratively.
