In these troubling times, when we risk becoming further disconnected from each other, the annual Conversational Leadership workshop is back to restore hope for the future.
Our ability to practice conversational leadership depends on our taking responsibility for the issues we care about and our capacity to convene and host quality conversations.
In this 5-day workshop, you will engage in numerous experiential-based conversational practice and feedback sessions and learn about how to:
Embrace complexity thinking | Understand the human condition | Take responsibility | Practice leadership | Converse in new ways | Convene impossible conversations | Sense-make together | Develop agency | Stimulate communityship
Join our third cohort on April 26 – 30, 2021, to experience the power of conversation, explore questions that matter, learn about yourself, others, and the world, and practice impossible conversations.
