Testimonials

  • At my organization, we sometimes struggle with facilitating our own meetings because we're all so invested in the details of the work. We brought Jaclyn in to facilitate an all-staff and a department planning meeting in early 2021. Jaclyn grounded us during a stressed moment so that we could work together more calmly and with vulnerability. She gave equal space for everyone to share their ideas and synthesized them back to us so that we heard our own ideas in a new light. That made it easier for us to make decisions about our work plans. I love Jaclyn's kind and caring energy and it allows me to have more positive feelings in spaces I may historically have some negative ones.

  • I worked with Hope and Jaclyn on two team gatherings we organised at the end 2021. It was a complex team dynamic with multiple asks and a short timeline and A Visual Approach rose to the challenge and delivered above and beyond our expectations. Jaclyn is a very experienced facilitator who was able to analyse our team's needs accurately and offer different creative solutions to help us achieve our aims. Both Jaclyn and Hope were flexible and adaptive throughout the process, including during the delivery of the gatherings. It was also great that Hope complemented Jaclyn's facilitation with graphic recording. Overall, a superb team that I would work again with anytime.

  • Jaclyn helped my team build our internal connections and relationships while planning for a very busy year of work during 2020. From drafting a collaborative agenda, to thoughtful facilitation, helpful note-taking, and debrief - her work helped us be successful and paved the way for organizational changes. After witnessing how transformational her work was with our team, another team and then our broader organization hired her to facilitate strategic planning and team/organizational development processes. I highly recommend Jaclyn!
