Mission & Vision

For over 30 years — including three decades at the UCLA Tarjan Center — I've worked at the intersection of facilitation and disability inclusion. I bring both professional expertise and lived experience as a person with a disability to every session I design, whether I'm training your team or facilitating your strategic plan.

Preparing Self-Advocates for Boards

Every board needs voices with lived experience. Too often, those voices aren't given the tools to fully participate once they're in the room. That's the gap Preparing Self-Advocates for Boards was built to close.

Empowering Creativity

"We had our research subcommittee meeting yesterday and Beth facilitated the discussion. It was awesome! We had such great engagement, interaction, and many good ideas. The process that Beth went through helped each individual feel engaged and comfortable in sharing responses. What was also nice to see was how responses from different individuals were supported by others and in turn, led to more ideas from the group."

Expertise and Innovation

"Beth's guidance was invaluable to our board's exploration of historical roots and exploration and development of vision and goals. The strategic discussions were not only enlightening but also served as a foundation for constructive dialogue and alignment within our team. Beth provided tangible examples, asking thoughtful questions to facilitate discussion, and encouraging us in our growth process as professionals and as a team. We are truly appreciative!"

Community Engagement

"Beth is an expert facilitator and helped to bring the voices of other advocates into our advisory committee meetings by using her facilitation expertise. As a person with a disability, she made me feel connected, engaged and safe to contribute my voice in the meeting. Beth is effective as a facilitator because she is very personal with the meeting attendees and makes sure to make the meeting accessible to the learning and accommodation needs of all the attendees. Beth is a subject matter expert in how to facilitate advisory committee meetings and training for individuals with and without disabilities."
