Pierce is a certified Technology of Participation (ToP) facilitator and trainer, having led non-profit boards, staffs and teams in project development, strategic planning, board development, audience building, fundraising, visioning, capital campaigns and institutional transformation. Technology of Participation (ToP) is a powerful collection of structured facilitation methods that transform the way groups think, talk and work together. They enable highly energized, inclusive and meaningful group collaborations that result in successful outcomes. ToP methods support genuine participation, which leads to long term commitment and quality results, as well as stronger teams. ToP methods recognize and honor contributions from all group members, identify commonalities and pool contributions into useful patterns - all while welcoming diversity and minimizing conflict. Pierce employs his humor and skills as an entertainer to maximize collaborative success.
