Guiding purpose-driven organizations to gather better

🔍 This week’s gathering spotlight: One of my favorite gatherings of 2023 was leveraging Priya Parker's 15 toasts concept by teaming up with two of my favorite local nonprofits, The Village Institute and Convivir Colorado. Over dinner, each attendee shared a toast in honor of their migrant story. After dinner, MOTUS THEATER's improv troupe ‘played back’ people's stories. The power of storytelling was on full display and I couldn't have been more proud. 💡Lesson learned: The importance of intentional group agreements. When bringing a group together, it's a host's job to ensure psychological safety (especially when they're mostly strangers). At this event, we set agreements of “co-creating a safe and brave space” as well as “stories stay, learnings leave” (ie confidentiality). 💪YOUR TURN: what’s your favorite group agreement?
