Tobey Williamson

Tobey Williamson specializes in community and media outreach, conflict resolution, meeting facilitation, and strategic planning and decision-making.

While working with groups to improve communication either internally or with a set of external stakeholders, he is especially skilled at building trust between people who disagree about a particular issue or set of issues. He does this through active listening, creative problem solving, and by gently encouraging people to take a broader view of their situations.

When facilitating large public meetings, he relies on process to ensure an orderly meeting that accomplishes its pre-defined goals while maintaining the flexibility to respond to unforeseen circumstances.

Mr. Williamson is equally comfortable working on projects that require strategic thinking and energetic follow through, contributing insightful ideas and reliable support to help his clients meet their objectives.

He has worked with private enterprise, municipal governments, non-profit organizations, state agencies, and the federal government on projects in fields as diverse as renewable energy, transportation improvement, land conservation, telecommunications, business planning, agriculture and the fine arts.

Tobey Williamson received a Masters of Regional Planning and training in mediation and facilitation from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst in 2001. He graduated from Colby College with a Bachelor of Arts in American Studies in 1995.
