The facilitated exercises Matteah came up with were creative and useful in helping us not just understand the materials but also put it into practice.   I think the most valuable thing that Matteah did for us though was by bringing her reflective, thoughtful and empathetic self into the space, creating an environment that was open and honest and allowed staff to feel comfortable while experiencing each other in a new way. I know that the diversity of our staff makes it a challenge to facilitate in a manner that all people can truly participate but I think Matteah stepped into that challenge incredibly well.  I would highly recommend Matteah to any one looking for assistance with facilitation.
