Testimonials
“Bryan has been providing service to my Nation for 23 years, and has been the main support to the Negotiations Department for more than a decade…. He is well known and trusted in our community for his thoughtful service and advice, ability to truth tell in difficult moments, and getting to the heart of the issue in a way that maximizes relationships.”
“Julian was such a pleasure to work with. He tailored a course on facilitation to our needs as a group of technical experts who are often placed in a facilitator role. All of his examples were extremely relevant to our work and helped us connect the theory with how it can be applied. I continue to reflect on the training and review pages from the workbook he provided before every meeting that I am expected to facilitate. I can not recommend facilitation training with Julian highly enough.”
“Julian and Bryan have worked closely with the Taku River Tlingit First Nation since 1999. Their expertise has been instrumental to advancing our goals around land use planning, land protection, and collaboration with external organisations. They have done exceptional work through development and implementation of TRTFN’s Government-to-Government agreement.”
“Bryan has provided exemplary service for over 10 years in support of our indigenous-led conservation planning partnerships in Clayoquot Sound and elsewhere. His professional expertise, strategic insight, and good humor have been greatly valued and appreciated.”
“Julian and his team tailored a three day facilitation training course for my department that had my team engaged, curious, and inspired to take on challenges that they had previously found intimidating.”
Our approach is grounded in a love of wild places, deep respect for the rights of Indigenous peoples, and a commitment to strengthening the resilience of communities and organizations.
