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.

What the Rock Band The Eagles Teaches About Our Inner Guide
One of my favorite musical groups of all-time is The Eagles. Their music spellbinding and their lyrics always seem to speak to my heart and soul. One of their most popular songs, Lying Eyes, provides a great metaphor for how our inner guide speaks to us and how we choose (or not) to follow its guidance.
Learning To Listen to Your Inner Guide
I have been an agnostic and a great skeptic of any mystical beliefs for most of my life. I considered people who believed in things, like the existence of an inner intelligence guiding us, not to be sane. One day a friend described for me how he deciphered a dream where God spoke to him. Having eaten more than my fill from the banquet of my father’s cynicism, I countered with my own “special” dream. I told him how I had spent the night dreaming I had eaten a giant marshmallow. I professed I didn’t know the dream’s meaning but, after waking, I discovered my pillow was missing.
Turning to External Things for Security and Refuge Guarantees a Life of Imprisonment
As a young child, I had no choice but to rely on those more powerful than me to decide my fate. My parents, of course, played that role in Cuba until I was ten. When mom and dad sent my brothers and I to the United States to escape from Castro’s Cuba, that role was handed over to the authorities running Operation Peter Pan, an American government program that assigned unaccompanied Cuban children to orphanages in all fifty states. When we were sent to Sacred Heart Home In Colorado, I had to rely on the priest and staff in charge of the orphanage. Four years later, the role returned to my parents when we were reunited and moved to Denver.
