What Dalar International Consultancy, Inc. does

Dalar International Consultancy, Inc. is a privately held Canadian organizational consulting and leadership development firm headquartered in Kitchener, Ontario, with a secondary office in Etowah, North Carolina. The company delivers bespoke organizational consulting, public workshops, and a Train the Trainer authorization program built entirely around the Genuine Contact Way — a proprietary, holistic methodology developed and co-founded by Birgitt Williams in the 1990s and refined across five continents. The methodology operates across six interconnected cultural dimensions (Strategy, Leadership, Accountability, Well-being, Development, and Service) and is delivered through facilitation tools including Whole Person Process Facilitation and Open Space Technology. Dalar serves a deliberately diversified customer base spanning nonprofits, social enterprises, NGOs, international development organizations, government bodies, corporations, and individual leaders/coaches/consultants.

The company's product surface extends beyond consulting into a structured learning ecosystem: 19 individual workshop modules organized into five learning paths (Simplifying Leadership, Participatory Methods that Get Results, Designing a Thriving Organization, Aligning with Your Genuine Self, and Train the Trainer), supplemented by a published book, a 50-card Developing Leadership Reflection Cards deck in five languages, and the Developing Leadership Podcast. Delivery is conducted remotely via Zoom and Miro, in-person globally, or hybrid, depending on client needs. The company is a member of the International Genuine Contact Organization, a global network of authorized practitioners that extends reach through referrals, co-delivery, and the Train the Trainer pipeline.

Revenue is generated through four streams: (1) quote-based organizational consulting engagements, (2) fee-based public workshops (in-person and online, with tiered team discounts of 20-40%), (3) the Train the Trainer authorization program with an honor-based $10 USD per workbook royalty from graduates, and (4) retail book and reflection card sales via Amazon and print-on-demand partners. The business is owner-operated with no disclosed external investment, no funding history, and a stated headcount of 1-10 employees centered on the two founding principals.
