Services

At Landing Places, each of our services—coaching, facilitated dialogue, and workshops—is grounded in the belief that meaningful growth requires us to slow down, connect with our bodies, and reflect on what is happening within and around us. Through skilled facilitation, we create just-right containers for the courageous work of facing what matters most. Though this work can feel daunting, it becomes fulfilling—and even joyful—when approached collectively and with care.

Coaching

Personalized Support

  • Everyone deserves time and support to reflect on the complexities of their professional role. One of the most effective ways to offer that support is through one-on-one coaching. In a time when the demands on educators are higher than ever, coaching is also an act of care—a way to create space for honest reflection, recognition, and growth. Drawing on deep knowledge of schools and other organizations, we help individuals uncover and examine the essential questions that shape their daily work. Through reflective dialogue, we support educators and professionals as they navigate challenges, deepen their expertise, and grow in their practice.

  • New and experienced educators including teachers, administrators, DEI practitioners, and other professionals such as nonprofit leaders and board members.

Transformative Dialogue

Collective Learning

  • We believe in the transformative power of dialogue. Meaningful conversations—especially in times of challenge—require time, skilled facilitation, and a willingness to be both truthful and compassionate. When people come together across lines of difference to speak and listen with care, it opens the door to insight, connection, and change.

    Our dialogue work supports individuals and groups in navigating complex topics with clarity and courage. We create space for participants to slow down, reflect, and engage in conversations that are honest, respectful, and generative.

    As part of this work, we also offer affinity spaces—settings where people with shared identities can reflect, learn, and recharge. These spaces are one tool among many we use to support deeper understanding, individual growth, and collective transformation.

  • Communities ready to pursue the deep, critical conversations necessary for a culture of belonging and responsiveness.

Workshops

Purposeful Gatherings

  • Our workshops are typically half- or full-day learning experiences designed to build foundational skills, deepen self-awareness, and strengthen community capacity. Whether focused on identity, dialogue, or facilitation, each workshop is grounded in relational practice and adapted to the needs of your organization. Workshops can be offered individually or as part of a series.

    Workshop topics include:

    • Introduction to Dialogue and Affinity Work – explore the foundations of dialogue and the purpose of identity-based affinity spaces within your community.

    • Navigating the Self: Identity Development Labs – reflect on how socialization shapes your identity and reconnect with your core self through guided exercises.

    • Affinity Leadership Training – build the skills and confidence to design and facilitate meaningful affinity spaces with clarity and care.

    • Custom Topics – we also design workshops on feedback, leadership, team dynamics, and other topics aligned with your community’s goals and culture.

     

  • Whole community learning and facilitation training.
