Caroline Thornton – Founder of NADUM

Caroline Thornton, Founder of NADUM, has been a professional facilitator for over ten years. A graduate of the University of Western Ontario (Psychology), she has worked as a trainer and consultant in Canada, the U.S., Australia, Singapore and Europe.

Assignments have ranged from groups of 4 or 5 individuals to sessions with over 100 participants. She works with every level of employee from the executive team to new hires.

Caroline has particular expertise in designing workshops that enable teams to resolve issues or work through contentious topics. NADUM has developed joint ventures with other organizations in order to expand the offerings to clients. As an example, Caroline leads electronic workshops in partnership with Queen's University (Kingston, Canada) in which participants use laptops to capture and evaluate information.

The NADUM clients include a wide range of companies and public-sector organizations. Ministries, universities, not-for-profit agencies and small businesses are as much part of our portfolio as the Fortune 100 companies. Cross-functional teams and multi-cultural participants are a special focus for all NADUM facilitators. Banking, insurance, pharmaceuticals, oil, and food-processing are industries in which we have considerable experience.

Caroline chose the name NADUM (Never a Dull Moment) to reflect the life of a facilitator, but it is also indicative of her own lifestyle. Away from client assignments, she and her husband breed and race Standardbred horses. She actually delivers the foals!. As Founder of NADUM she loves the challenge of building a team of expert facilitators who leads teams to compromise, co-operation and consensus.
