Authentic relationships are the foundation of strong, healthy organizations and communities.
We’re here to help you navigate the hard conversations that matter.
Years of experience leading conversations about complex issues like substance use, reconciliation, and health equity have taught us that good things happen when people can trust each other. Common ground, connection, and strong partnerships are essential in order for organizations and communities to overcome the challenges of today. Unfortunately, in an era of social media and increased polarization, it often feels impossible to find common ground across different experiences to work towards shared goals.
At Noah Chalifoux Consulting, we believe difficult conversations are often the ones that matter the most. Applying strategies learned from diverse contexts of community organizing, we are here to help you move past frustration and build the authentic relationships of trust required to accomplish your goals.
We support organizations and professionals of all types doing transformative work to promote health for individuals and communities.
Our approach is grounded in core values of connection, authenticity, and trust. We are your support for the challenges & conversations that divide us.
Innovate by finding new ways to work together.
Facilitation
Applying a value-focused approach, we can support you to find common ground through challenging conversations.
We work with your goals and unique context to design sessions that promote shared understanding, healthy dialogue, relationship development and collaboration.
Engagement
When it comes to community engagement, staff engagement, partnership development or any problem that requires people to work together, we need to hear each other and recognize shared values & goals.
We can help you ask the right questions, to ensure that every voice feels heard, and to generate creative solutions that work across diverse experiences.
Custom Curriculum Development
Shared understanding is the foundation of collaboration. Our interactive, dynamic and participatory approach to education & training meets people where they are in their learning and supports shared understanding of concepts in the context of their own work and lives.
Applying principles of critical pedagogy, adult learning, cultural safety, and trauma-informed practice, our sessions make difficult conversations accessible to audiences of diverse backgrounds.
Storytelling
Stories are what unite and empower us to work together. Sometimes, when we face complex challenges, we need better stories that affirm diverse perspectives on where we’ve been, how we got there and where we’re going.
Whether you need support with brand development, knowledge translation or evaluation, we can support you to weave together various stories, complex realities and to build narratives that overcome barriers and empower collaboration.
Our interactive workshops support people to build meaningful, safe and trusting relationships across diverse experiences. Current offerings explore themes of substance use, community health and gender & sexual diversity.
