Empowering Teams, Communities, and Leaders to Achieve Their Vision.
Hello and Welcome
Welcome to Vision Fusion! I’m Charity Adams, the founder of Vision Fusion and co-owner of Great Plains ToP, a training organization dedicated to equipping leaders with transformative facilitation skills.
At Vision Fusion, our mission is simple but powerful: to help individuals and organizations unlock their potential by fostering collaboration, empowering leadership, and driving meaningful action. Whether we’re facilitating strategic planning, providing facilitation training, or offering personalized coaching, we’re here to help you turn your vision into reality.
Vision Fusion: Our Story
Vision Fusion began as a personal journey—one that took me from running a business out of an armoire in rural Nebraska during the dial-up internet era to becoming a professional volunteer, then a dedicated advocate for community and economic development in my hometown of Cairo, Nebraska.
Through years of working on projects, I realized that completed projects didn’t create lasting change—engaging people in the process did. This revelation led me to discover the Technology of Participation (ToP) facilitation methods, which transformed my approach to meetings and teamwork.
Today, Vision Fusion is built on the belief that better meetings create stronger teams, organizations, and communities. We specialize in facilitation, training, and coaching to help individuals and groups achieve their goals with clarity, purpose, and action.
Great Plains ToP
As co-owner of Great Plains ToP, I partner with an incredible team to provide world-class facilitation training across the Midwest. Our training programs teach the foundational and advanced ToP methods, empowering leaders in nonprofits, businesses, government agencies, and community organizations to lead meetings that inspire collaboration and drive results.

Vision Fusion thrives because of the talented network of trusted partners Charity Adams work with. Each partner brings their own expertise and perspective, ensuring that every project is delivered with skill, creativity, and impact.
