WHAT IS CONVENING?

More than a meeting modality, convening is a leadership capacity that has the power to integrate and magnify the individual and collective, or group, team, whole organization, to enhance business and organizational performance, or individual relationships. 
How we gather, communicate and deliver the desired outcomes through our meetings is critical to the long-term vitality and success of our organizations and communities and the people within.

Using the Convening Wheel, The Art of Convening is a practical map that anyone can navigate and activate as a core leadership competency. We travel the inner and outer path of the reflective leader, from getting to “The Heart of the Matter” to a “Commitment to Action” and all the territory in-between.

The curriculum uses material from Heartland's forthcoming book The Art of Convening.

TRAINING FORMAT & BENEFITS
Each 2-hour Session builds upon the last, combining guided teaching based on session themes and collaborative learning.


The format, based on Heartland Inc.’s work with the Thought Leader Gatherings and various convening designs, utilizes ancient forms as well as modern systems for group effectiveness.

Each participant’s contribution is essential to the overall outcome. Personal and professional relevance & application is realized through journaling, reflection, and partnering.

All sessions are a blend of group interaction and engagement. Between sessions participants continue learning via experiential exercises, individual reading and reflection, and are supported by an online learning platform.
