How We Work

Our facilitation is relational, thoughtful, and adaptive, grounded in deep listening, honest conversation, and a commitment to building capacity within the system itself.
We support change through scaffolded, participatory processes that help people think, plan, lead, and act in complexity. Our work is about creating the conditions for people to engage meaningfully, think clearly together, and move forward with shared ownership. We draw on diverse, real-world frameworks that are grounded, context-led, and designed to strengthen the people and relationships doing the work.

Work better together!

Jennifer has a unique ability to conceptualise and articulate complex notions in user friendly ways. I am regularly impressed by, and benefit from, her agile thinking, adept approaches to problem management and her capacity to facilitate win-win outcomes in complex situations. She is a very skilful facilitator, bringing a suite of relational skills to this work.

Practice Transformation Facilitator and Consultant

Whatever the size or type of engagement, from small community groups to large multinational organisations; from one day workshops to extensive strategic planning, Jennifer shows up with deep authenticity and graciousness. For over a dozen years I have observed her professional expertise in thoughtful facilitation as she allows participants the space to clearly articulate their own solutions and suggestions for their unique situations.

Practice Influences

Our work is grounded in a diverse set of methodologies that enable inclusive, strengths-based, and context-responsive practice. We draw on:

Systems Thinking:

Identify underlying structures and systems that drive events and patterns, fostering lasting results.

Principled Negotiation:

Resolving conflicts by separating people from the
problem, focusing on interests rather than positions, generating mutually beneficial options, and using objective criteria for decision-making.

Regenerative Futures Thinking:

Engaging people in developing collective visions for desired futures, facilitating decision-making and action on long-term, contentious challenges.

Collective Impact:

Shifting the conditions that maintain complex problems through collaborative efforts.

Design Thinking:

Utilising logic, imagination, intuition, and systemic reasoning to explore possibilities and address complex challenges collaboratively.

Appreciative Inquiry and Asset-Based Community Development:

Building on the strengths of communities and collaborators to ensure creations are grounded in what works.
These diverse influences guide our work, ensuring we apply the most effective strategies to support your goals and challenges.

Same Page really assists you to do just that – to get on the same page and tackle a wicked complex issue. Jennifer’s unique approach draws on the knowledge and experience of stakeholders from across systems to focus on the problem. It sounds simple, but it is nuanced. Jennifer’s facilitation style of gently questioning, curiously drawing in data and lived experience to balance and guide conversations, supports people to create solutions and the plan to make it happen. Everyone has a clear sense of purpose, knowing what true collaboration feels like, and are armed with a toolbox and a focused plan to tackle the problem and to measure the impact.

Helen Mitchell

Senior Executive, Strategy and Innovation

I have had the opportunity to see Jennifer in action across many settings in recent years. I have participated in many workshops she was leading and have been so impressed with her ability to engage with diverse audiences and quickly get to outcomes leading to impact. I have also engaged Jennifer to assist with complex, messy problems that we were just not able to get our heads around how to tackle, we were going around in circles and enter Jennifer who listened deeply, asked poignant questions, focused the team and gave us guidance on how to successfully navigate the matter. She made the complex simpler and helped us see through the chaos. I have recommended Jennifer to other professional contacts who have sent me sincere messages of appreciation for making the connection and have loved the engagement with Jennifer. Same Page and Jennifer are so helpful, wise and good fun to work with.

Jennifer is an outstanding facilitator who helps groups explore ideas, find solutions, and reach agreements together. She can act as an impartial guide to help teams make decisions and also leverages her extensive experience in strategic planning, community engagement, and change management. Her creative approach to process design makes the sessions enjoyable and meaningful, ensuring that participants are fully engaged in exploring ideas and developing shared solutions.

With her many years of experience, Jennifer effectively drives collective action, clarifies complex issues, and helps groups move forward together. I highly recommend Jennifer for her consulting work with Same Page. She is truly exceptional.
