Nov. 3-4, Art of Hosting and Convening Conversations in Organizations and Communities, Seattle
Today’s organizational and societal challenges require new approaches that achieve real, sustainable impact. But what are these ways? And what is possible if we train together?
-
You are a pioneer. You know that change begins with you. You have begun to cultivate an inner strength that enables you to risk tough decisions and bold initiatives. You also know that you cannot do it alone. Your ability to spark and sustain innovation depends on networks of countless people—in the offices around you and across the globe—whose actions are inexorably bound to your own.
Today’s organizational and societal challenges require new approaches that achieve real, sustainable impact. But what are these ways? And what is possible if we train together? The Art of Hosting is a high-involvement practice workshop for all who seek scalable approaches rooted in conversation. It is a pattern of organizing currently used in corporations, social change organizations, families, youth programs, and international peace dialogues. This workshop utilizes multiple participative approaches, including Open Space Technology, World Café, and Circle. We’ll explore chaordic confidence, design, strategic questioning, the art of hosting, and the art of harvesting. You’ll also have opportunities to continue your learning and practice during the Pegagus Conference, including during the “Building the ConferenceCommunity” event.
This is a Pre-Conference Workshop to the Systems Thinking in Action Conference.
