The Transition Design process of Neighbourhood Small Grants led by Expansion Works provided a path forward. The engagement process and the final report challenged assumptions we had been holding and provided insights and new perspectives to support Vancouver Foundation’s decision-making. Throughout the project, Marialejandra and Andrea responded to the complexity of the transition and concerns of the community with grace and patience

Community Engagement helps organizations inform impact measurement and key decision-making processes while building trusting and reciprocal relationships with their communities and partners.

Whether you’re conducting public consultations or dialogue sessions, the result is stronger communities, enhanced collaboration, and more sustainable services.

Leadership Capacity Building

At Expansion Works, leadership development is approached as a deeply human process that focuses on building both intra- and interpersonal capacities. We support leaders in cultivating self-awareness and personal agency, helping them understand how their inner landscape shapes their effectiveness. In parallel, we develop interpersonal skills that support trust-based collaboration and inclusive leadership, laying the foundation for sustained effectiveness and meaningful impact within organizations and the larger systems they are part of.

Our approach blends holistic tools with experiential, hands-on learning to expand leaders’ capacity for sustainable decision-making and to lead with greater impact, alignment, and accountability.

Custom Leadership Development Programs

Custom-designed leadership programs aligned with your organization’s goals and culture. Delivered over multiple sessions, these programs build key leadership capacities for organizations navigating growth, addressing leadership gaps, or strengthening leadership at all levels.

Leadership Skills Workshops

Targeted half or full-day workshops designed to address specific gaps in leadership and interpersonal skills. Topics include leading inclusive teams, fostering collaborative cultures, and generative communication.

Holistic Leadership Circles

A cohort-based program held twice a year over 4 months, designed by and for women. It offers experiential learning and peer support to navigate leadership challenges and build practices addressing the unique barriers women face. Open to the public; contact us for updates on upcoming intakes.

Embodiment Sessions

Our Embodiment Sessions are guided group experiences that use movement and music to support personal growth and leadership development. Each session centers on a theme, such as adaptability, balance, or vitality, and invites participants to explore it through movement, using the body as a source of insight beyond the thinking mind.

Through individual, paired, or group exercises, participants develop greater self-awareness and learn to recognize patterns, emotions, and responses as they emerge. With minimal talking, the sessions create space to connect inwardly and to surface and shift barriers to connection with others. Practicing in a shared setting also supports the development of interpersonal awareness and relational skills.

Recommended for (but not limited to): 

  • Leadership development
  • Community & team building
  • Supplementary activity  for skill development
