Facilitate Co · About

I'm Charity Adams.

Founder and principal facilitator of Facilitate Co. Based in Cairo, Nebraska. Working across the Great Plains and virtually with the leaders and teams who are doing work that matters.

The work I do

Facilitation, training, and team coaching across the Great Plains.

I help leaders and teams turn friction into unified progress — through facilitated strategic planning, board retreats, coalition convenings, team alignment sessions, ToP® training cohorts, and team coaching engagements. Based in Cairo, Nebraska, the work happens across the Great Plains (Nebraska, Kansas, the Dakotas, Iowa, Missouri) and virtually with clients elsewhere when the work fits.

Most of my engagements come from someone passing my name to a colleague. That shape isn't an accident — it's what I've built for. The work I do is high-trust and high-stakes; the right clients find their way to me through people who have already worked with me. What's consistent across every engagement: a designed process, a named aim before the meeting starts, and a group that co-creates what they leave with.

I farm with my husband on land in Cairo, Nebraska. The land teaches patience — you don't get to argue with the seasons, and you don't get to skip the slow work of building what comes next. That orientation shows up in how I approach the work, too.

How Facilitate Co works

Two things, held together.

One

Facilitate Co is an independent practice.

Every engagement is mine to design and lead. The accountability is direct — you hire me, I do the work. I have a strong network of certified ToP® facilitators and trainers I can bring in for engagements that benefit from multiple practitioners (large cohorts, multi-site work, co-facilitated retreats).

Two

I co-own Great Plains ToP, LLC.

Great Plains ToP is a regional partnership of certified ToP® practitioners across the Great Plains region. Co-owning it means I'm part of building the broader practitioner community in this region — not just running my own practice. When you take a Facilitate Co course, you're also joining the Great Plains ToP Community of Practice that comes with it.

Collaborating network

Practitioners I work alongside.

Certified ToP® facilitators and trainers across the Great Plains. We co-facilitate cohorts, support each other's engagements, and build the regional practice together.

Because the path forward is co-created — not declared — by the people walking it.

If you've read this far, you probably already have a sense of whether what I do might fit what you're working on. The next step is a real conversation — not a proposal yet, just a conversation about what your group is trying to do and what would actually help.
