WE HAVE EXPERIENCE AND WE HAVE VISION!

Inspired by the realization that clients come to her with expectations of positive change and growth, Mary Sue named her new endeavor “Status Grow: Facilitation and Project Management for Sustainable Growth and Change Above and Beyond the Status Quo.“

After 25 years in public relations and events planning, Mary Sue has become a firm believer that successful group process involves finding common ground while honoring individual diversity and dissent. This belief, coupled with her natural inclination to build alignment, make connections and help parties work toward a common goal, prompted Mary Sue to become a facilitator of the strategic visioning process and the transformative approach to conflict resolution.

Now a confirmed and “perennial student” of Group Process and Facilitation methods Mary Sue received her initial training from the San Francisco based Grove Consultants in 2000 and continues her professional development as a Board member of the International Facilitators Association ( IAF) from 2005 to the present. She is also trained in the Institute of Cultural Affairs “TOP” Methods of Participation. Her IAF certification requires ongoing education and recertification assessments.
