Lead Your Way, Get Results, and Thrive

The Challenge… You know the value of clear, bold, and innovative leadership, but the complexities of navigating complex cultural landscapes, the personal and professional cost-benefit analysis of showing up as your whole self, and unrealistic external expectations are making your success feel more like survival.

The Solution… We deliver personal and professional transformation that allows female and diverse leaders to go beyond success and THRIVE! 

In partnership, we will clarify your goals and define the outcomes that will create visible results. Common topics include redefining who you aspire to be as a leader, exploring personal and professional transitions, achieving the professional freedom that allows you to thrive, and identifying strategies to release perfectionism and cultivate a more balanced life—one that prioritizes health, joy, and personal fulfillment alongside professional success.

EMERGENT Facilitation

Shift ideas into Action

The Challenge… When teams face change, tension, or stagnation, meetings can fall flat—lacking clarity, trust, or forward motion. Even high-performing leaders can struggle to create space where tough conversations lead to real progress.

The Solution… Emergent Facilitation creates the conditions for real movement. Rooted in the work of International Association of Facilitators (IAF) Core Competencies, Design Thinking, and Liberatory Design, this approach builds adaptive, inclusive environments where collective insight and innovation emerge organically.

At LJA, we use this approach to plan and run meetings that matter. We bring structure and clarity without rigidity—making space for diverse perspectives, honest dialogue, and co-created solutions. Whether you're navigating complexity, conflict, or change, our emergent facilitation helps your team build trust, align around shared goals, and leave each session with clear, actionable outcomes.

Sample Facilitation services:

  • A collaborative, inquiry-based approach that utilizes dialogue to build shared understanding, collective sense-making, and new possibilities that guide transformational change: 

    • Appreciative Inquiry

    • Circle Practice (the Circle Way)

    • Liberatory Design 

    • Open Space Technology (OST)

    • World Café

  • We help teams strengthen communication, alignment, and collaboration—especially when tensions rise or goals feel out of reach.

    Our tailored approach builds trust, fosters open dialogue, and unlocks fresh thinking. By centering belonging and connection, we create space for every voice, driving stronger solutions and lasting team performance.

  • Our custom retreats give teams space to reflect, reconnect, and align on what matters most. Designed around your goals—whether it’s collaboration, change, or innovation—they foster belonging, surface every voice, and spark clarity and momentum for lasting impact.
