Gauge Your Readiness to Do The Work

If you’re searching for support, you can prepare for a consultation with me by asking yourself these initial questions to determine your readiness to find the core issues that need addressing and whether our nature-based approach is right for you!

Pre-assessment questions:

  1. What specific area of support am I looking for?

    • better communication skills, programming design, stronger relationships, alternative team building experience, etc…

    Identifying specifically what your team’s needs are will be key in narrowing in on the focus and whether I can provide support in those areas.

  2. How ready is my team to do the work?

    • staff are requesting support, leadership sees potential in cultivating workplace wellness or address ongoing issues, there’s been a sharing of resources or previous effort to receive support

    As a decision-maker, you don’t want to blind-side your team with a mandatory or exploratory effort to adjust or change the way things are going. Knowing there is some level of readiness to tackle the needs of your team/community can show up in many different ways. Think about how these have shown up and be prepared to share this story with me!

  3. Is there existing buy-in at the leadership or team level?

    • you can speak to an existing budget or allocation of funds to work on your team’s needs, higher level decision-makers like directors or supervisors are advocates for this work and may already engage in some form of wellness whether on the personal level or within the organization on some level

    Coming to the table with a better sense of how this investment in your staff will operationalize shows a level of readiness and buy-in. Make sure you’ve gone through the process of “proposing” or “convincing” your leadership that this is well worth the long-term health, wellness, and success of your organization.

  4. What conversations have happened to lead you here and what are key talking points to share with Raynelle?

    • there’s a story to tell and a chain of events that have led you to reach out for outside support, someone recommended my firm and the services qualify for your interest in moving forward, your insights tell you the nature-based approach will resonate

    Being able to bottom-line the key points from the story that has led you to me not only saves us a tremendous amount of time on a call, but we can also identify your core needs. As I listen I pay attention to the level of urgency, practical ways my services align to your needs, and whether you can clearly identify the trailhead (or starting point in our potential work together). A valuable takeaway I can offer you on a call are the hidden dynamics that may be playing a key role in your challenges and why the needs are showing up.


    Even if our call doesn’t lead us to working together, there are still valuable resources and practitioners I can share with you so that you land the appropriate support system!
