Conflict Connections®, Inc. offers team facilitation services to small businesses, intact teams, interdepartmental teams and leadership dialogues throughout United States.

Facilitation is a process approach used with groups to stimulate thinking, problem-solve, collaborate, build teams, identify and analyze issues, serve as a catalyst for transition and change management, and address group identity issues.

A facilitator serves as a neutral catalyst or process expert to support the group's experience and move them through a process to meet the group's purpose and outcomes.  All facilitation services are designed based on the client's specific needs and begins with an assessment phase.

Patricia M. Porter earned her Certified Virtual Facilitator™ (CVF ™) credential through the International Institute for Facilitation (INIFAC). She now joins a growing group of facilitating professionals who have demonstrated the skills, knowledge, and understanding to facilitate virtual meetings. The CVF ™was created based on a set of researched international facilitation competencies.
 
To become a CVF ™, I met the requirements in six facilitation competency areas:

1. Presence
   
2. Assessment
3. Communication
4. Control
5. Consistency
6. Evaluation

 
I am proud to say that I am a CVF ™, a Certified Virtual Facilitator ™, and have proven my knowledge of facilitate virtual meetings against an impressive set of standards.

I thought Pattie did an outstanding job coming in at the last minute and helping the group not only prepare for the meeting but work through some difficult dynamics ahead of time. She went well above and beyond what was required of her to help the group prepare for the meeting. I would heartily recommend Pattie for other facilitation opportunities, particularly those involving organizational change and transitions. I enjoyed getting to know her and would be happy to work with her again.
