I, David Sibbet, am the founder of The Grove Consultants International and a pioneer in the field of visual, organizational consulting. As a lifelong facilitator and OD consultant, I’ve also focused on sharing my learning through books on visual meetings, teams, leadership, and change, all of which emerged from extensive collaboration with colleagues and clients.  I am passionate about evolving cultures of collaboration that can meet the challenges of our times.

The Grove

After 52 years leading every imaginable kind of meeting in person and on-line, I am now focussed on supporting thought leaders in more intimate visioning work, and sharing my learning in writing and various online media. I’m also doing business development for the Grove team under the leadership of Gisela Wendling, Ph.D., my long-time colleague and wife.

 

I am very responsive to people who reach out—especially transformationally oriented leaders interested in realizing their visionary ideas and practitioners who would find my mentoring support helpful.

 

My long experience leaves me deeply understanding how to design group process and experiential learning environments. I am a very proficient information designer, blending text, graphics, and video in compelling formats. Going forward I will be working in various mediums to share Grove learning and support people and organizations meeting the challenges of these times.
