Our site is undergoing re-development. Thank you for your patience!
Nurture LLC is your partner for personal, professional, and organizational growth. For decades, lead educator/consultant Dr. Fran Kaplan and our professional Dialogue Facilitator Corps have fostered development, innovation, and well-being across hundreds of diverse public and private organizations.

We live in increasingly complex local, national and global societies. Nurture LLC’s interactive multimedia presentations help audiences develop and/or deepen their
Knowledge and historical understanding about their own social groups and those with whom they interact
Awareness and understanding of the lived experiences of individuals raised in families and societies different from their own
Desire and ability to take first steps toward building healthy relationships, managing conflicts, and innovating solutions with a variety of individuals and social groups
Our presentations include Resource Lists for Further Learning that contain online articles, books, films, and graphs curated to support your journey.
Introduce New Knowledge and Perspectives about Challenging Issues
Advance the Capacity to Create and Maintain Healthy Groups and Workplaces
Professional Support Along the Way for Organizational Leaders and/or Members
Our programs include participant evaluation and feedback. We ask, for example: “What is the most important new awareness, idea, fact, or feeling you are taking away from this session?” Examples of typical responses include:
“Think outside the box. Exercise empathy. Treat everyone with respect and as a unique individual.”
“I really enjoy listening and getting so much better at it! I love learning about others and am learning more about myself as a result.”
“Helped me connect with colleagues that I would not otherwise have an opportunity to have a meaningful discussion with”
“There are other co-workers that see the urgency and need for change. I feel less ‘alone’ in the endeavor and begin to see it happening.”
“The caring circle was wonderful, magical.”
We believe our country is currently experiencing a uniquely “teachable time” in its journey towards realizing its founding ideals of liberty and justice for all.
Dr. Fran Kaplan formed Nurture LLC to advance and support that journey by using methods honed over many years to build bridges from our unsettling past to our safe, peaceful, and prosperous future –– across differences and divides.
Dr. Fran has spent over fifty-five years working to create healthy organizations and communities locally, nationally, and internationally. A social change “entrepreneur,” she has founded and led multiple organizations. Learn more about Dr. Fran.
The Nurture team partners with groups seeking ways to foster healthy working relationships, face today's complex social challenges, manage conflicts, and fulfill our nation's founding ideals together.
