Poverty Roundtable

I am pleased to recommend Dave McComiskey and Associates who facilitated strategic planning for the steering committee of the Poverty Roundtable Hastings Prince Edward (PRT HPE) in 2017. Dave helped the Poverty Roundtable Hastings Prince Edward steering committee through intentional, responsive, inspired and highly skilled facilitation.

Currently we are moving into the next phase in our development – from engagement and foundation building towards community impact, a collective process and collective commitment that we can attribute to Dave’s mastery of facilitating strategic planning processes, of working with diverse groups and his depth of knowledge and experience in planning and organizational development, reading groups and responding accordingly.

Processes that he engaged helped us to unravel assumptions, speak to current situations and to clarify options and visions. Dave is approachable, a group builder, observant and responsive. His ability to recognize, name and utilize group dynamics as well as locate dynamics within organizational development stages demonstrated both his responsiveness to our unique characteristics as well as supported our renewed commitments and course of action in anti-poverty work. His skills in facilitating planning processes, in facilitating multiple dialogues, his ability to read groups and move groups through processes towards attainable goals is exceptional.

Dave is a professional, high quality consultant focused on helping organizations meet their mandates and aspirations – bringing both experience and knowledge in governance, strategic planning, development and skillful facilitation into moving, not just groups, but visions for our communities forward.
