Is your organization – or perhaps your Board or other group – stuck?
You know you want to do something, but you can’t figure out where to start?
RHL Strategies may be the assistance you need. With a strong background in non-profit leadership, marketing, and organizational development, we can guide you in discovering what is possible going forward.
Our philosophy is simple: you, the client (leadership, staff, other stakeholders), hold the key to the solutions you are seeking. It is our job to work with you to design a series of conversations (and then to facilitate them!) to find that key and then to turn it.
For example:
- You find yourselves at a crossroads – and now what? We can work with you to identify who should be at the table to address this and what might be a good strategy to do so.
- As a leader, how often have you presented an idea or a plan to a group, only to be faced with pushback (or worse)? A fresh approach might be what you need.
- Are your conferences, workshops, or off-sites becoming ho-hum? The "art of hosting" is an emerging concept that is changing the dynamics of gatherings of all kinds. RHL Strategies could assist you in designing a powerful, memorable event that connects people to each other and to the event's purpose.
Robin H. LeBlanc has decades of experience in different kinds of organizations, especially non-profits. Her strengths include leadership support, program design and development, strategic planning, and marketing. Her work has included community planning and design, including its role for older adults, and the importance of choices in places to live for everyone. She has sat on numerous statewide committees and roundtables, and has been recognized for her work.
Robin LeBlanc (formerly a citizen of Portsmouth) has been a part of this organization since 2007. She was introduced to them as a "Study Circle" participant, and soon became a facilitator. She then became a member of the PL Steering Committee. In this role, she was a collaborator in designing and shaping the content of the conversations.
More recently, Robin has been asked to "facilitate the facilitators". Twice in the past five years, when a particularly controversial topic was the impetus bringing in PL, Robin identified the facilitators and assisted them in understanding the project, the agenda, and the thought process behind the flow of conversational content. Each project had over 100 participants, in groups of 8-10 (some in person, some held via Zoom).
John Tabor has been a chair of this program throughout and has worked with Robin in developing the study guides and in forming project logistics.
