“Lillie has an extraordinary gift for holding space that is both sacred and practical. During our multi-session engagement process, she demonstrated the rare combination of structured facilitation and intuitive responsiveness, allowing our congregation to authentically surface its collective story. Her use of creative facilitation methodologies helped us move beyond surface-level conversations to profound discoveries about our identity and calling.
What struck me most was how Lillie could simultaneously tend to individual participants' needs while keeping the group focused on our shared purpose. She truly embodies the presence, listening, and curiosity that became one of our touchstones.”
—Rev. Jennifer L. Butler, Senior Minister of First Congregational United Church of Christ
IDI consulting
Building the muscles to navigate and embrace difference.
The Intercultural Development Continuum© (IDC) is a tool to identify how individuals and groups relate to cultural differences. Sustain Studio offers the administration of this tool and opportunities to strengthen intercultural competency based on individual and group orientations.
The IDC describes orientations toward cultural differences ranging from the more monocultural mindsets of Denial and Polarization through the transitional orientation of Minimization to the intercultural mindsets of Acceptance and Adaptation.
