Facilitation

Thoughtfully designed workshops and events, so everyone can participate and work towards shared outcomes together.

The right conditions for the right conversations.

Macaulay Consulting designs and delivers meetings, workshops and events that produce meaningful outcomes while creating genuine engagement, connection and creative energy in the room.

Facilitation services are sector and subject agnostic: Caroline brings the process expertise, your team brings the content knowledge. Whether the room contains a board, a frontline team, a community group, a cross-organisation working group or a conference audience of two hundred, the work is to create conditions where the right conversations happen and meaningful outcomes emerge.

Anyone planning a meeting, workshop or event where the outcome matters.

  • Health, education and human services
  • Government departments and agencies
  • Community sector organisations
  • Private sector organisations
  • Conferences and industry events

Facilitation engagements can include:

  • Leadership team away-days and planning sessions
  • All-staff forums and culture days
  • Stakeholder engagement events
  • Cross-organisation working groups
  • Board meetings and retreats
  • Conference facilitation and panel moderation
  • Community forums and town hall events
  • Pre-event design with the convening team
  • Post-event synthesis and follow-up

What this looks like in practice:

  • A half-day leadership team offsite to work through a difficult decision
  • Team culture building workshops
  • A stakeholder engagement event bringing together partners with different agendas
  • Conference moderation for a sector event

Energy that carries beyond the day.

Meaningful connection in the room. Decisions people understand and own. Energy that carries beyond the day. Clients consistently report that participants leave feeling heard, having contributed and clearer about what happens next.
