EP 13
Healing the Community
with Tessa Mac Kenzie
Tessa is a facilitator and trainer for social development and corporate social responsibility
<p>In this episode, I interview Tessa MacKenzie. Tessa is the person whom communities call when they are broken. During our conversation, she exposes the concepts, skills and tools she uses to support her work, the difficulties in healing communities, and what she believes to be the forces that unite us and the forces that separate us.</p>
<p>Tessa has facilitated over 700 collaborative planning meetings, forums, events, workshops, programs, and social change projects over the last 17 years. She has worked across NGOs and social and corporate sectors in New Zealand, Australia, Mexico, USA and England. She developed a specialist interest in Corporate Social Responsibility whilst participating in social impact research and coordinating social development for communities impacted by gold mining.</p>
<p>Her company Natural Assets offers solution-focused, emotionally intelligent training workshops to create positive change and development. She provides individual and peer group supervision, career coaching, and presentations to governance groups, training, and conferences.</p>
“I place myself as having knowledge and skills from the grassroots up. The problem I see at the moment is that a lot of corporate work from the top down. Grassroots work from grassroots up and there’s a disconnect in the language, neither of us understands the other. What I see myself as is a broker of that conversation or relationship.”
