30 minutes. Direction Set.

During this time of Coronavirus adaptation, we are offering 30-minute pro-bono virtual sessions to help leaders and teams gain clarity and a path forward through a scenario that’s slowing you down.

What We Solve.

In one energetic, 30-minute virtual session, you will have clarity and will identify your next step to resolving a current leadership or team challenge.

Choose from one of these common situations, or define your own:

Engaging Teams

Is your team operating in silos and looking for more meaningful communications? Would you like your meetings to be more engaging and productive?

Healthy Boundaries

Now that home and work activities are blending together, do you feel a need to reset or reimagine your boundaries? Or perhaps you need to restructure your priorities?

Re-Entry Planning

Are thinking ahead to how your team will adapt to working back in the office? Are you struggling with defining options when so many variables are uncertain?

You Define. Together We Discover. You Deploy.

1) Define.

Describe your challenge on the intake form provided when you schedule your virtual session. We’ll collect all the details we need to be prepared to jump right into our 30-minute session together.

2) Discover.

We facilitate one or two activities in a Zoom meeting to get to the root of the challenge and harvest your wisdom and experience to get to a solution and next step.

3) Deploy.

You leave the session ready to act and move forward. We’ll provide a recording of our virtual session to support your notes and key takeaways.

About Us.

Bearings is a collaboration between Stephanie Fleming and Sarah Lazzaro. Carrying overlapping backgrounds in facilitation, communication, and change management we’ve come together to use our skills to help our community thrive within today’s new work paradigm.

Stephanie Fleming

Stephanie Fleming

Facilitator + Strategist

Stephanie’s passion is guiding organizations and teams through challenging situations and change. She brings a combination of marketing, change management, and human-centered design to her approach, leveraging group behavior and dynamics to create the most impactful and sustainable results.

She has extensive experience building consensus and facilitating co-created strategies, plans, and campaigns that exceed objectives among company partners, cross-functional teams, and stakeholders.

She is a PROSCI-certified change management practitioner and loves utilizing Liberating Structures to ensure all voices can be heard.

She’s inspired by nature and when not at her computer, she can be found in her garden with her chickens, getting dirt under her fingernails or hugging trees while hiking the PNW forests.

Sarah Lazzaro

Sarah Lazzaro

Facilitator + Strategist

Sarah is a strategist and facilitator that helps businesses drive customer and employee-centricity through brand, strategy, and organizational process.

Her experience is rooted in brand and marketing strategies that yield strong communication, consensus building, and co-created solutions working cross-functionally within her clients’ organizations. She believes interactive facilitation is the key to successfully building solutions that exceed all stakeholders expectations.

She holds a certification in Strategic Organizational Management and, like Stephanie, leverages the Liberating Structures platform to facilitate conversations with her clients.

Sarah is a certified diver (as pictured above!) and avid water worshipper. She believes in bringing a smile to every engagement, both work and personal.

Why are we offering this service for free?

Pure and simple, we want to give back. We believe in the power of good leadership and teams. We believe the best solutions are co-created. And we believe that helping others is how we can make our world feel more connected in a time when we feel very far apart from another.
