Business Facilitation Services
Bring clarity to your organization’s mission and goals.
Hello, I’m Guillermo.
I bring into my work the insights and strategies I gained from my thirty years of management experience as mayor of Denver and in the engineering industry. I know how to bring people to consensus on a common mission.
Get buy in from all your employees in a fun, participatory way.
Consensus building is best done in a fun environment that promotes a joyful connection and appreciation from every person involved.
My facilitation methods prompt your workforce to recognize their individual and collective value and put an end to growth resistance while they reach for their personal greatest vision. Then we show them how these fit into your organization’s larger vision.
While it is important to focus on the what and why of an organization, it is also important to get buy in on the how.
This is done by helping you articulate the kind of work environment you want to create. This is important, because support for their organization happens for employees when they feel they can be themselves and are appreciated for their contribution. My facilitation style encourages both workforce and management to appreciate the role of the other so they may create a friendly work environment where people are free to share dreams, ideas and concerns.
Create an open atmosphere where everyone feels free to share dreams, ideas and concerns.
Improve the effectiveness of your organization.
My facilitation methods prompt your workforce to recognize that cooperation, support and heartfelt commitment to the organization’s direction is one of the greatest gift’s in one’s career.
Committed employees make a greater effort and are willing to go the extra mile to support their colleagues and management. Everyone longs to be proud of what they do and to be a part of a great organization. When your employees make this transformation, the sky is the limit for what your organization can accomplish.
Experience counts
Having spent decades building consensus among elected officials and community groups, boards and task forces, I know what it takes to bring people together for a common cause. From my experience in running large organizations, I am also aware what it takes to build a healthy work environment where everyone can thrive and produce their best. these are the talents I bring to the table as a facilitator.

It May Seem Like It, But the World is not Really Ending
Another mass shooting, missile launched, high profile controversy, along with all the assorted bad news we hear so often and it is easy to believe we are spiraling the world into oblivion. As an immigrant child who was separated from my parents by Castro”s Revolution when I was ten, news about raids on immigrants, the crisis in the southern border and the separation of children from their families leave me feeling depressed. My heart aches every time I see pictures and videos of the empty and sad faces of children in American internment camps. This experience of family separation that saw me start life over in an orphanage in a country where I didn’t know the language is by far the greatest trauma I have ever survived.
You Don’t Have Any Birthdays to Waste
A few weeks have gone by since two of my greatest childhood idols, John Havlicek and Bart Starr, passed away. I mourn their losses and thank them both for the thrills they brought into my life. Who can ever forget Bart Starr leading his Green Bay Packers to victory against Dallas in the “Ice Bowl”, one of the greatest football games of all times? John Havlicek won eight NBA championships during his sixteen-year career with the Boston Celtics.
Six Perplexing Things You Must Understand About life
My parents were batshit crazy. It wasn’t so much that they had faults, every human has them, it was that their marital union blended their failings into a cocktail of emotional and psychological poison. As you read this article, make no mistake, I am grateful for them and how they helped shape the person I am today, but it was no picnic.
