\u00a0\u201cLarry Peers is an exceptional\u00a0 consultant. While laser-focused on the work that needs to be done, Larry\u2019s humor, non-anxious manner, and quiet confidence make even the most difficult of dilemmas feel more like an interesting puzzle waiting to be solved. On the several occasions when Larry has worked with our leadership, it has been obvious that they like him and are comfortable with his style, but more importantly, they listen to him and they trust him.\u201d \u2014Rev.\u00a0<\/em>Phyllis O\u2019Connell<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Whole Systems Planning and Visioning<\/strong>
\nTo help\u00a0organizations create a common vision and discern the strategic directions that will help them achieve it, I often use a large-group intervention, which is similar to a Future Search Conference or an Appreciative Inquiry Summit. This approach brings together stakeholders from across the\u00a0organization-young and old, new and established \u2013 to participate in a process of gathering information about the\u00a0organization and the wider community, interpreting discoveries, and drawing conclusions. Integral to this approach is building the capacity of an organization\u2019s staff, board and membership to listen, learn, analyze, and\u00a0decide together.<\/p>\n

Transforming Conflict, Cultivating Resiliency<\/strong>
\nTransforming conflict is all about helping people have conversations they haven\u2019t had before, so they can get to places of new agreement and move forward. By conducting interviews and creating forums for what I call \u201cessential conversations,\u201d I help\u00a0organizations and their leaders move from reactivity, to responsiveness, and on to reconciliation. Over time, they cultivate resilience to face future challenges in qualitatively different ways.<\/p>\n

Multiple Staff and Board Development<\/h2>\n

My work with multiple staffs and boards is tailored to the specific developmental and situational needs of the staff team or board leadership. In local, regional and national organizations, I help build effective working relationships and address concerns that inhibit leadership and organizational\u00a0potential.<\/p>\n
