WE’RE BRINGING RADICAL COOPERATION TO THE TABLE

Cooperate

Collaboration is the invisible thread that runs through and ties together every aspect of our organizations and their work. A group’s ability to serve its people, achieve its goals, and sustain itself is directly related to the health of its communication and decision making. Yet so often we neglect these processes and structures, effectively saying ‘we can all just get along!’... until we find ourselves with a problem – and realize we don't know how to talk about solutions!


This is the need Sassy Facilitation was created to serve - helping collaborative people get out of their own way and do it together, better.

Our Services

  • Facilitation

    Facilitation is the art of guiding an organization through a collaboration process towards achieving its goals in the most equitable, efficient, and effective way possible. While it will look different for each group and situation, the support of a “content neutral process advocate” can be the difference between easeful success and aggravating failure.

  • Training

    Sometimes you have everything you need to achieve your goals - except some critical knowledge or skills! That’s where these customized trainings come in, where we co-design strategic, incisive and delightful trainings to get your people the skills they need to achieve your shared goals. Don’t see your need addressed? Let’s get together and design for it!

  • Organizational Design

    All organizations are designed - but most are, shall we say “organically arrived at.” Which works just fine – until it doesn’t. Organizational Design services help get to the root of the problem and co-design (and even implement) a creative solution that get your people and processes back on track to easeful and effective collaboration.

Meet Sassy 👋🏼

Kate Sassoon is a “co-op native” who acquired the nickname ‘Sassy’ during her time organizing direct action against the Iraq War, and it has stuck to her – and all her endeavors – like a billboard and a bill of rights (she can't imagine why).
