The Art of Convening Training 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.

This immensely practical training elicits the best and brightest capacities inherent in each participant, leading to transformed engagements and meetings that deliver responsibility, accountability and commitment.

Each AoC Training focuses on how the Principles of Convening and Essential Conversation can revolutionize the way you facilitate and lead meetings and gatherings.

The curriculum is based upon the material from Craig’s forthcoming book The Art of Convening: 9 Ways to Transform Your Meetings, Gatherings and Conversations.

You will learn:
•    new practices and processes including:
    * Council Process
    * Stringing the Beads
•    Design Elements Checklist
•    Working with Transitions
•    Working with the Principles of Convening

Outcomes
Our goal is to help you create engagements (meetings, conversations, relationships) that produce maximum innovation and creativity, while delivering the highest potential of the group.

Course Work
With more than 30 years of experience in convening, Craig uses readings, journaling, case studies, and various individual and group practices to bring your gifts and experiences more fully alive as a convener.
