Phil Stoesz (he/him) is a process designer, facilitator and artist. Phil's leadership in process design with groups has looked many ways: guiding conversations about purpose, untangling a years-old challenge, synthesizing and organizing large amounts of information, facilitating a team through co-designing something, and countless others moments of growth, change, or development groups of people go through. He has worked with people from Blue Origin, Google, USA Today, the Jane Goodall Institute, the University of Rwanda, Mayo Clinic, the Antwerp Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Endless Network, and all sorts of other people across academic, private and non-profit sectors.
He is a Certified Critical Response Process (CRP) Facilitator and Trainer and co-directs the CRP certification program where he trained under MacArthur Genius Liz Lerman. Phil has facilitated hundreds of critique circles that are focused on curiosity, integrity and generative meaning-making. Nearly everything Phil does is the result of knowledge that has been passed on to him through the practices of his ancestry, the world of theatre-making, and the mentors and collaborators who continue to grace his life.
