TabTalks

Create spaces where people can think, talk, and figure things out — together.

Co-Design

Working through challenges - together

We bring people together to talk through real challenges and shape solutions as a group.

Instead of decisions being made in isolation, we create space for different perspectives to come forward — from teams, stakeholders, and the people directly impacted.

Through guided conversations and simple activities, we help groups:

  • Understand what's really going on

  • Hear perspectives that are often missed

  • Explore ideas openly before moving forward

The result is more grounded decisions and solutions people feel connected to.

Best for:

  • Community and stakeholder engagement

  • Early-stage idea exploration

  • Building shared understanding

  • Navigating complex or sensitive topics

Game Based Experiences

Game-Based Experiences: Thinking through complexity in a new way

We create simple, interactive games that help people explore real-world challenges in a hands-on way.

These experiences make it easier to:

  • See how decisions play out

  • Understand different perspectives

  • Talk about complex issues in a more open, less pressured way

Games create a shared experience — which often leads to more honest conversations and deeper insight.

Best for:

  • Facilitating difficult or complex discussions

  • Learning through experience rather than presentation

  • Engaging groups that might not respond to traditional formats

  • Exploring "what could happen" before taking action

About Tabatha

Chief Catalyst of Mischief, Connections & Possibilities

The status quo shouldn't be our default. I help people, teams, and organizations shake off the "supposed to" and step into something far more powerful: curiosity, courage, and a custom-built way of working, living, and connecting.

Over the past 20 years, I've been a transformation maven in government, a connector of dots across global networks, a designer of learning adventures that defy the usual, and a facilitator who makes complexity feel like a game worth playing. I've led national initiatives, co-designed policy, supported cross-sector partnerships, built communities of practice, and brought unlikely collaborators together to tackle impossible problems (and enjoy it).

My toolkit includes systems thinking, storytelling, sense-making, serious play, and a little well-placed chaos. I blend structure with serendipity, designing spaces where people show up fully, think differently, and leave with something they didn't know they were looking for.

I work best when things are messy, bold ideas are welcome, and we're allowed to break some rules along the way.

Whether you're leading change, launching something new, or just feeling stuck, I help people like you bring wild ideas to life and build teams and strategies that stick. Curious? Good. That's where the magic starts.
