Strategic Planning is a critical part of an organization's success. It results in creating a mission, vision, values, and priorities. Kimberly Douglas, CEO of FireFly Facilitation and expert facilitator in strategic planning, can guide your organization through its strategic review and planning session. In this newsletter, she identifies deliverables and 3 key points that will maximize the ROI of everyone's time. Also in this newsletter is a free download of her Strategic Planning e-book where she recommends 5 key changes every team should make to their next annual strategic planning session.

For many managers, the most challenging part of their job is dealing with employees and effectively holding them accountable when they aren't achieving their goals. Kimberly Douglas, expert team effectiveness facilitator teaches that when faced with a challenge or frustration of some kind, we each have a choice on how to handle it at that moment. You will learn how to ask yourself better questions that lead to more productive decisions, better results, a better sense of well-being, and a feeling of control over the situation.

Dr. Bruce Tuckman's Stages of Team Development is one of the models Kimberly Douglas uses when creating team effectiveness and helping leaders build high-performing teams. FireFly Facilitation will lead teams through Tuckman's 4 stages - Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing resulting in changes in trust, knowledge sharing, and ultimately levels of cohesiveness and team effectiveness and performance.

Many organizations are realizing they need to plan for different scenarios for a successful re-entry into the "new normal," and likely will need to make some very difficult decisions. In facilitating recent strategic alignment sessions for my clients - both virtually and in-person/safely-distanced - FireFly Facilitation has found these 3 sessions to be the keys to our success.
