Leader As Convener

Designed Learning’s Leader as Convener workshop brings the pages of Peter Block’s book, Community: The Structure of Belonging, to life. During this highly interactive learning experience participants will explore using the Six Conversations that Matter® to transform communities and organizations.

Bring people together- better.

The protocols of Leader as Convener help you embody the change you wish to see in your organization, community, and the world.

It’s no secret that the catalyst of community is one’s sense of belonging. Every gathering, every room, has the capacity to move us towards a more human culture of relatedness and connection. When we gather, we can either share our expertise and tell others what to do or co-create a future that we aren’t able to do by ourselves. Everytime you bring people together is the opportunity to uncover new possibility.

This workshop is for you if you…

  • Sense that the old way of leading is obsolete.
  • Believe there is nothing more important than for a leader to co-create with others.
  • Know that belonging and inclusion is a pre-requisite for commitment.
  • Believe that innovation demands collaboration.
  • Tire of carrying too much of the burden alone.
  • Want to transform the communities where you live and work.

Leader As Convener is offered in-person or virtually in public workshops or inside organizations.

“As an executive leader, learning the Six Conversations, which are at the center of the Leader As Convener program, was exactly the growth that I needed at this time in my professional career. Already, the Six Conversations are helping me build stronger connections with my colleagues and our business clients. I now feel more confident leading meetings with a new purpose and plan for building collaboration and reaching collective impact.”

Keith Hickman, Executive Director of Collective Impact IIRP Graduate School
