About Eileen Pippins

One of my greatest joys is helping people move the needle in their leadership, communication and relationships. My skills and experience in organizational development, communication, facilitation and education have given me the opportunity to work with some amazing people doing amazing work in social justice, Diversity, Equity and Belonging, nonprofit, education, family wellness, and health management. For over 19 years in learning and program development, implementation and training, I've lent my talents to organizations and individuals in communications, strategic planning, conflict management, change management, community engagement, strategic planning and social justice. Based in the Oakland/San Francisco Bay Area, I've also worked with organizations nationwide. Some highlights of my work include-Process consulting-Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging assessment and interventions-Conflict management and resolution-Storytelling-Board alignment-Thought partner on education equity initiatives-Strategic and action planning for faith-based organizations, NGOs, and start-ups. Clients have shared that I bring a focused and exciting energy to work and learning environments. To foster strong and sustainable engagement, I use Technology of Participation (ToP) methods for facilitation. Because I'm passionate about supporting people in their communication, I do not shy away from facilitating difficult conversations in groups, including social justice, coalition building, health, civic and community engagement, equity in criminal justice, systemic racism, anti-racism, and mental health. The stronger our communication, the stronger our relationships can be across every area in our lives. I'm completing my doctoral studies in Organizational Psychology, where my focus is on Effective and Sustainable Engagement.

If this time of pivoting has taught me anything, it is the power of community, especially face-to-face encounters. Almost everything is better together.
