For more than thirty years, Dalar International Consultancy has partnered with purpose-driven organizations to build capacity for sustainable transformation. Founded in 1994 by Birgitt Williams, we’ve worked across five continents and more than a dozen countries with government bodies, international development organizations, social enterprises, and businesses of all sizes – guiding organizational development and leadership development that creates conditions where both people and performance thrive.
A Holistic Approach to Organizational Development
Birgitt Williams and Rachel Bolton lead Dalar’s work with a holistic approach to organizational development that honors a fundamental truth: every organization, team, and community already possesses the blueprint for its optimal health. Rather than imposing external solutions, we create conditions for your collective wisdom to emerge. Our consulting work addresses six interconnected cultural dimensions – strategy, leadership, accountability, well-being, development, and service – because sustainable transformation requires attention to the whole system, not isolated parts.
The Genuine Contact Way of Working
Birgitt Williams co-founded the Genuine Contact Way of Working, with Rachel Bolton joining as a co-creator in the methodology’s continued development since 2002. This holistic approach to organizational transformation is recognized in “The Change Handbook” and the Collaborative Change Library as a credible change methodology. Today, leaders, consultants, and facilitators worldwide use the Genuine Contact Way to create life-nourishing organizations where people and purpose flourish together.
Global Experience Across Cultures
Our work spans five continents and more than a dozen countries, bringing the Genuine Contact Way to diverse cultural and organizational contexts. We’ve learned that while each organization is unique, the principles of creating life-nourishing environments translate across cultures when approached with respect and adaptability. Our organizational development consulting and leadership development consulting focuses on four interconnected areas: simplifying leadership, facilitating participatory processes, designing thriving organizations, and coaching for personal alignment.
Learning the Genuine Contact Way
Beyond our consulting work, we teach the Genuine Contact Way of Working to leaders, consultants, and facilitators worldwide who want to create life-nourishing organizations. Through individual workshops and comprehensive learning paths, participants develop practical skills in participatory facilitation, holistic organizational development, authentic leadership, and systems thinking. Many who learn with us invite us to partner on larger organizational initiatives once they’ve experienced the approach firsthand.
Meet Our Team
For more than twenty years, Birgitt Williams and Rachel Bolton have partnered to lead transformative work with organizations worldwide. Their relationship is built on shared commitment to creating life-nourishing environments and a deep respect for the unique perspectives each brings to their consulting practice. This collaborative approach strengthens every client engagement. Together, they’ve developed and refined the Genuine Contact Way of Working, learning and growing alongside the leaders and organizations they serve. Their enduring partnership reflects the values they champion: genuine connection, holistic thinking, and the belief that diverse perspectives create stronger, more sustainable solutions.
Global Network of Cooperation Partners
For larger or more complex engagements, we collaborate with co-operation partners from the international Genuine Contact Organization – experienced consultants, facilitators, and trainers who share our commitment to creating life-nourishing organizations. This global community spans six continents, allowing us to assemble teams with the right cultural knowledge and expertise for any context. Whether your work is within a single region or across multiple countries, we bring together practitioners who work with shared methodology and values.
