BR Strategies Consulting Practice

BR Strategies partners with organizations, schools, networks, coalitions, and community groups to support collaboration on some of the most pressing challenges of our time.

Breanna works with groups to build trust, find common ground, communicate and resolve conflicts in a meaningful way while working together on values-based solutions. This often involves a shared plan, strategy, policy, or project that can be implemented, along with inclusive processes that center on communities and collaboration. We design and facilitate meaningful experiences – such as a retreat, strategic gathering, training, inclusive engagement process, or event – that build trust and consensus so that groups can do their best work together.

She works on collaborative leadership, network-based systems change, island sustainability, climate action, ocean and land conservation, ʻāina aloha, youth education, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), community-based economic development, and initiatives that promote peace-building and the well-being of people and planet.
