…important insights through organic conversations…

I appreciated attending the Build Belonging From the Inside Out leaders’ gathering for the opportunity to connect with others and reflect in an intimate circle of trust and acceptance, guided by Jessie's leadership.

Jessie's easy warmth and gentle guidance naturally brings people together and brings out their best qualities. She has an uncanny ability to draw out important insights through organic conversations which is inspiring and always leaves me feeling hopeful, energized, and like things have become unstuck. Thank you Jessie!

YOU are the most important instrument for CHANGE.

Everybody knows that, but do you know how to build belonging from the inside so that you can be anchored within yourself and energized while also facilitating change?

As leaders, it can be tough to take time for yourself when you are faced with facilitating change while being pulled in multiple directions, and especially when the needs of the people involved are so great.
 
But we all know if we don’t take the time, things will only get worse.

What people are saying about working with Jessie and using this approach:

Sandra Lee Aldis

“

I was able to understand what I need to pay attention to in myself so that I can contribute more effectively to my community.

Jessie’s course educated me on the meaning of worldviews and reconciliation and gave me insight into the importance of how internal change can affect my relationships, my community and my place in the world. Through exercises, group discussion and private discussion, I was able to understand what I need to pay attention to in myself so that I can contribute more effectively to my community. Through Jessie’s entertaining stories, light humour and extensive experience and knowledge, I got a glimpse of what a world of equality among nations might look like if we follow Jessie’s lead and carry on as if it’s already happened. Her inspiration and determination will surely transform the world.

Miigwech for your excellent work on bringing people of many cultures and nations together.

When I participated in the Belonging Matters Conversations with other leaders, I appreciated that if you want to see and “be the change” in this world, you need to have patience. The process helped me to see who I am, what I need to work on, and what change means across cultures.

As a facilitator, Jessie has a lot of compassion for people while bringing out their best. Gchi Miigwech for your excellent work on bringing people of many cultures and nations together.
