Today, the need to build individual and organizational capacity to navigate the complexity of our world with authenticity is even more critical. This three-day training is designed for learning simple yet powerful practices that enable courageous engagement that builds community, activates shared intelligence, and motivates leadership for change. 

The Art of Hosting and Harvesting Conversations That Matter (also known as the Art of Participatory Leadership) offers simple and powerful participatory practices, patterns and processes to host generative conversations that can lead to coordinated action and positive change.  An Art of Hosting training is experiential, and many people find it is unlike any other training they’ve attended. 

Who should attend?  Forward-thinking individuals and teams who are seeking higher impact ways to engage, inspire, and activate innovation and business value within their organization and community. Whether you come from the public or nonprofit sector, a foundation, self-employed, or are coming simply as an individual who cares about this work, this training is for you. We invite a diversity of perspectives to create a vibrant learning space, which we can build on in our work. Attend as a team to make the application of what you’ll learn even easier to integrate!

Join us and you will leave feeling empowered and ready to...

  • Build strong teams, partnerships, and communities. Broaden the skill set within your group, work more effectively and enjoyably together. Engage stakeholders in meaningful conversations that promote resilience, belonging, innovation, and collective impact.

  • Engage in a supportive co-learning experience. Explore and experience collaborative practices which help engage people with diverse backgrounds and foster a culture of inclusiveness.
