Essential Conversations is celebrating one year! Essential Conversations was created by the Center for Purposeful Leadership as a response to the disruption felt worldwide with the events of 2020, in the hopes of engaging and activating leaders. If you haven’t checked it out yet, Essential Conversations is a weekly event with the purpose of hosting provocative and evocative conversations, interactive breakouts, and community conversations to equip you with strategies, inspiration and ideas to create change and innovation needed for coherence, resilience and positive impact. Anyone looking to create a positive impact in their family, community or organizational circles are welcomed to these 1.5 hour conversations.
Additional details on upcoming sessions and to register read below or navigate to the original post here.
Every Monday, we convene a conversation with either a Conversation Starter or community conversation addressing these questions:
- What is a positive response in times of extreme disruption?
- As one who steps forward to help, how are you sustained and renewed?
The Design: Each 1.5-hour convergence follows the structure of the 9-Steps Convening Wheel.
- Create the Container together
- Hear All the Voices
- Hear an Essential Conversation from a Conversation Starter
- Take that conversation into Creation via a Wisdom Circle (breakout group)
- Have Community Circle
- Close with a Commitment to [Positive] Action.
Who attends: Anyone who wants to step forward to make a positive impact in your family, community or organization.
Cost: Free/no charge. Contributions to support this initiative are welcome.
The Essential Conversations provide tools and practices to help you move from Fragile to Agile and from Reaction to Response
Purpose: Our weekly program of provocative and evocative conversations, interactive breakouts, and community conversations will inspire you and equip you with strategies, inspiration and ideas to create change and innovation needed to being coherence, resilience and positive impact.
We launched in March 2020 to activate leaders in response to the massive disruption we and the world were experiencing.
In community, with shared depth and intimacy, we discover resilience, love, and focus to stay present to what is needed each week. Through collaborative reflection, discover collaborative action towards positive impact.
Begin your week, in a community of support and collaboration, by setting your intention to have a positive impact and bring people together for the highest possible outcome of whatever you are engaged in.
