Experiences are at the heart of what I do.

Together, we can collaborate on your signature event, deliver your cornerstone workshop, or build a plan to support your team. Whatever the project, I aim to understand your ‘why’ to craft an experience that feels like you and reaches your audience. I make strategic use of engagement techniques, space (in person or virtual), technology and your particular strengths to create a lasting impact on your community.

Check out some of what I offer, and let’s chat about next steps.

  • Drive longterm impact by improving team dynamics, building organizational habits, and aligning your people with your mission. I’ll work with you to understand your goals, people, and priorities to customize an interactive workshop, retreat, or ongoing engagement. Your team will always leave with tools, actionable next steps, and an accountability plan to integrate key learnings. Some of my favorite focus areas are:

    Feedback culture & ongoing performance management

    Productivity & prioritization

    Team building, team culture & values

    New manager onboarding & training

  • Are you a facilitator or trainer? An organization putting on a great webinar, symposium, or panel event? My learning & development background coupled with my technical savvy make me an ideal partner for ensuring your event runs smoothly while enhancing participants’ learning and experience.

    Hire me to tech host your event: Facilitating your session is plenty to manage. I’ll handle all things platform: chat, participant questions, distributing materials, platform technology (breakout rooms, whiteboards, slides & videos, etc.) and can also support rehearsals and communications to participants & presenters.

    Design your session with me: We'll utilize distance learning methodologies, creative activities and fun online tools to achieve your session goals and target your script, timing, and rhythm to maximize audience engagement.

  • Whether you're planning to gather online or in-person (or both!), I can help you craft, plan, and execute a gala, conference, retreat, or meeting that is outcome oriented, aligned to your mission, and tailored to your audience. Bring me in for any part of the process where you need extra hands, brainpower, or expertise. My approach to event planning will be of greatest benefit in:

    Content: Crafting event arc; scripting & talking points; in-event media

    Technical Production: Technical scripting; technical prep, hosting & management for online events; sourcing and management of tech teams, video editors; integration of technology & support tools

    Stakeholders: Presenter outreach, prep & management (hosts, moderators, panelists)

    Onsite Support from rehearsals and pre-event run-throughs all the way through cleanup

    …and I can also help you with project management, vendor sourcing & management, registration, donations & sponsorships, and more.

    (Psst: if you aren’t sure what to ask for, fret not — let’s chat and figure it out together!)

I hired Jill to consult on two events for my nonprofit [at the time], both of which were planned with her signature care and excellence. Jill is uniquely skilled in event design, thanks to her experience as facilitator and content creator, and her profound understanding of people — how we engage, learn, and participate. Jill takes time to understand the organization, makes great recommendations, and delivers a powerful experience using technology to meet your goals. She is the kind of person one brings along from project to project, while recommending her to anyone who will listen.
