facilitation, engagement & consultations

When you’re in a room full of community volunteers, senior leaders, cross-sector stakeholders, or multiple jurisdictions, outcomes hinge on more than just an agenda. They hinge on tone, clarity, and trust.


Marc brings a calm, credible presence to complex environments. He facilitates discussions that are honest without being harsh, structured without being rigid, and purpose-driven without being performative. Whether leading large consultations, training executives, or moderating retreats and symposia, the goal is the same: create space for alignment, decision-making, and next steps that stick.


We've facilitated bilingual engagements at every level: from grassroots community sessions to executive-level strategy meetings. We have also  led multi-jurisdictional consultations and moderated high-profile events, including:
 

  • The Public Health Goals for Canada initiative
  • The Mental Health Commission of Canada’s National Consensus Conference
  • The Federal/Provincial/Territorial Healthy Living Strategy roundtable meetings
  • Canada’s response to the United Nations Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, a rare convening of industry and health policy advocates in one room


Whether planning complex pan-Canadian consultations or designing sessions for executive teams, we build environments where people feel heard, and progress is made. Facilitation & engagement services include:
 

  • Bilingual facilitation and training across all levels—EX to front line
  • Large-scale consultation planning and moderation
  • Executive retreats and strategic planning sessions
  • Multi-stakeholder engagement strategies
  • Difficult conversations, trust-building, and alignment
  • Strategic communications grounded in values and clarity


This isn’t about facilitating or moderating in the conventional sense. It’s about having someone who knows the space, understands the dynamics, and can move the room forward with clarity and respect.

"We were extremely pleased with Marc’s facilitation of a recent mental health stakeholder consultation meeting we held in Montreal. Marc was able to step in at short notice and quickly grasp the requirements of our situation. He worked well with our team, and was able to provide good advice on adapting an existing process to the requirements of a Francophone audience. Marc connects naturally and effectively with diverse stakeholder groups. He demonstrated considerable understanding of the subject matter and displayed great sensitivity to the issues under consideration. His approach to facilitation was engaging, respectful and thoughtful and he skilfully conducted the meeting in an efficient and disciplined fashion."
