Convening Purposeful Leaders

We’re thrilled to share updates including the launch of The Convening Institute!


How do we grow the “field” of convening, purpose, and whole person leadership? With new tools and structures! Let’s begin with …

The Convening Institute: We’ve just launched as a place to gather Art of Convening Graduates from around the world under one umbrella. A place to have conversations around the inner life of the convener and outer applications in our lives and work. More to come this Fall as we learn how to convene and curate this important conversation.

What is convening? The art and science of designing and convening meetings that matter and work to grow your leadership, express your purpose and create opportunities for authentic engagement. When authentically engaged, there is alignment of shared purpose that leads to true commitment from those who participate.

What does convening offer? Convening is a structure for developing and expressing purposeful leadership. Leading with purpose. Aligning with purpose.

At the foundation of The Art of Convening is a “technology of relationships.” If you hold as true that each interaction with another human being is an opportunity for authentic engagement or relationship, that interaction is enhanced. The Art of Convening is a guide to help us integrate our personal values into positive relationships that make possible the best outcomes for our gatherings, whether for communities, organizations, or the world.
