"Kimberly McNally has provided a variety of outstanding services to my non-profit organization: planning and facilitation for our Board of Directors’ retreat; design and implementation of a multi-session team building for our staff; and individual coaching for a member of the management team.  She received rave reviews from everyone.  I highly recommend her without reservation.  She has the right mix of experience, skill, empathy, and knowledge to design a program that meets your needs and produces results."

McNally & Associates provides skillful facilitation for retreats, meetings, team-building activities and other key events.  Whether you want to sponsor a planning retreat for your board, help a stalled cross-functional team move forward, conduct focus groups, kick off a new initiative or do something special to recognize your employees, we can assist you to hold an effective and memorable event.  We are skilled facilitators who know the cultural and industry issues and speak the clinical and management language of healthcare.  We facilitate groups and teams to see situations in new ways, translate the learning into concrete steps for action and cultivate trust for deepening relationships.  Our ability to facilitate dialogue, surface difficult issues and promote open communication leads to powerful results.

  • Trustee and Senior Leadership Retreats
  • Physician-Nurse-Administrator Dialogues
  • Facilitated meetings to support service realignment and mergers
  • Department Team-Building
  • Organizational Initiative Launch Events

After conducting an assessment to identify strengths and areas of concern, we work with your organization’s leaders to carefully plan and design an agenda that meets the desired outcomes.  Through artful design, we help organizations balance their focus on vision and values with group dynamics and team-building with competitive strategy, clear deliverables, and effective implementation. 

In the session, we facilitate structured conversations between group members on issues such as:

  • aligning vision and values
  • setting goals  
  • building trust and teamwork
  • enhancing communication
  • resolving conflict       
  • creating accountability
  • implementing change
  • celebrating accomplishment

If indicated, we create a skill-building component to allow the team to begin practicing new behaviors.  An action plan is developed to define priorities, clarify agreements and determine next steps.  Typically, a follow-up session is scheduled in three to six months to assess progress and reinforce commitments.
