Brigid loves co-creating spaces with a bit of magic in the air; where people are able to show up, share, challenge, connect, disagree, grow, get a bit uncomfortable and feel heard.

She works in cultural programming and production, and as a strategic consultant, program designer and facilitator - she loves a little infrastructure to foster connection and make the complex accessible.

Note from Nadia:

This is the end of the first part of the Bloom Series, where I’m interviewing all the members of a Montreal-based boutique consulting firm (www.bloomworld.org). There have been some new hires since I started...so we’ll get back to Bloom soon. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing and working with Brigid for many years, in three cities and with at least four different orgs. Her facilitation is courageous, sensitive, honest and loving. In this podcast, I think you’ll hear all of these qualities quite unmistakably. This is a podcast about being true, being yourself, being direct. Brigid has this rare leadership quality. She says, “I aspire to tell you the truth because I love you and I want to stay connected to you, and I can see something is going on. The work is figuring out how to say it, so it can be heard and received.” Brigid shares a lot of specific tips on how to actually achieve the beautiful balance between agency and boundaries. Near the end, Brigid breaks down the panic/stretch zone framework in an incredibly generous and intelligent manner that really inspired me.
