Wanted to share this invitation with you all as the early bird pricing for New York is ending this Friday August 22nd and the registration for Vancouver is now open for this new two-day workshop on leading collaborative and transformative meetings. 

Nancy Fritsche Eagan and I are both very excited to offer this training on circle - as a core practice in the Art of Hosting Conversations that Matter and in leadingtransformative meetings- based on The Circle Way - A Leader in Every Chair. In fact, we were so excited we wanted to put together a short invitation video you can watch here.

Leading Transformative and Collaborative Meetings

 

In today's world we live with the paradox that meetings are the most important tool for working together and yet they can be the most unproductive and expensive strategy we use. Instead of "death by meeting", we can create a structure that encourages candor, courage and straightforward discussions that are inspiring, motivational and stirring. Imagine meetings that welcome diverse opinions, promote mutual understanding, discover inclusive solutions and shared responsibility. Using circle process encourages genuine contribution, creativity, inclusion and co-creation of a future in which there is more possibility than limitation, resulting in better outcomes in our work.  We develop the capacity to work with complexity, conflict, hurt and trauma. 

 

You Are Invited

 

We welcome Art of Hosting practitioners as well as those who are curious about participatory leadership. This workshop is for leaders, managers, supervisors, project leaders, community groups, youth workers, educators, church leader, board members, consultants, and those working in fields such as health care, government, education, the social sector, organizations, healing and trauma work, parent groups, restorative justice and social innovation. And you!

 

Over this two-day workshop we will explore how circle process can establish conditions for better listening and intentional speaking, increase participation and collaboration in meetings, reconcile difficult dynamics and more. Learn more about the workshop, the team and inspiration on the web at Transformative Meetings.
