Workshops & Learning

Hands-on working sessions designed to move you from awareness to action. Every workshop is built around Goldenseal's evidence-backed resilience framework and grounded in the same principle: every disruption carries both a risk and an opportunity. The businesses that see both are the ones with more options.

Goldenseal x Oparos Consulting

Clarity Sessions

Two 90-minute working sessions that take you from buzzword confusion to concrete action. Attend one or both. Workshop 1 creates the diagnostic wake-up; Workshop 2 builds on that awareness with a foresight lens and strategic response.

Meet Your Facilitators

Lisa Churchill approaches resilience the way she spent years studying mass extinctions — by asking what the system was doing before the collapse event that either protected it or made it vulnerable. Joanne Eriaku approaches disruption as a futurist — mapping the shape and complexity of what's arriving before it hits.

Together they bring something rare: the deep systems science that explains why some businesses survive disruption, and the forward-looking pattern recognition that shows what's coming next. Both are small business owners. Both have spent their careers translating complex intelligence into practical decisions for real organizations.

Better together: These two workshops are designed as a sequence. Participants who attend both leave with two complementary work products: a diagnostic (where am I?) and a strategic response (what will I do about it?).
