Today’s leaders need to be able to respond to a world that is increasing complex and
fragmented, where solutions and innovations lie not in one idea, viewpoint or leader, but in
the larger field of our collective intelligence.
The Art of Hosting Conversations that Matter is a 3-day workshop that employs a
participative approach for leading, convening and engaging. Now practiced worldwide, it is a
pattern of learning, strengthening relationships and getting to work. Methods. Maps. Shared
practice. A format to support seeing together what we can’t see alone. For creating together
what can’t be created alone.
