About
It’s About Empowerment
We provide facilitators, leaders and teams with the tools and skills they need, to learn, collaborate and innovate.
The Shift Story
Every facilitator has an origin story. Here’s ours.
From the executive floor to the shop floor. Every group. Every room. Every session. Every activity. All the raised hands. All the discussions. All the lessons learned.
Add it all up. Across the entire Shift team. Across traditional, virtual, hybrid formats. Multiply those lessons 10x.
All of us have served as contract facilitators—working for dozens of training companies. We’ve studied and rehearsed. We’ve been critiqued and certified.
Looking back, we have a lot to be grateful for. We’ve had incredible mentors to guide us. And talented colleagues have taught us their secrets.
We’ve excelled on the path to mastery. Seeking unique experiences. Gathering insights. Applying all that’s been shared with us.
And now, using all of the gifts that we’ve received, we are called to be generous in return.
This is the Shift story. Our origin story.

Shifting to Virtual: New Virtual Delivery Capacity at Scotiabank
case study
A year later, Shift co-developed a competency framework, performance standards, and coaching tools for virtual facilitation to embed the new virtual delivery capabilities into the organization. The result was the creation of Scotiabank’s Virtual Facilitation Competency Framework™, which includes an Observation Worksheet and Coaching Guide as companion tools.
