Circles of Change uses inclusive participatory facilitation methods to enable personal and group transformation in organizations and communities. We change the world by helping groups collaborate, learn and act more effectively.
About
Robert Quintana Hopkins, PhD is an organizational development consultant, Certified Technology of Participation Facilitator (CTF) and Qualified Trainer (QT) of the Institute of Cultural Affairs' (ICA) Technology of Participation™ (ToP) facilitation methods. Utilizing participatory processes, he helps groups, teams and organizations clarify their direction, develop implementable strategic action plans and collaborate effectively together.
Whether employees, volunteers or community members, when people are involved they give greater discretionary effort, build stronger working relationships, work toward a common vision and share responsibility for success, leading to higher performance and better outcomes. No single person can create large scale, long lasting organizational or social change alone. It is through collective action that we create the greatest impact.
Drawing upon 20 years of leadership and management experience, Robert helps groups of individuals change their own lives, change organizations and change communities.
