Our beginnings

Since 1995, we’ve proudly worked with Thought Leaders and Organizational Pioneers knowing that meaningful conversation about things that matter is revolutionary and can transform lives. Our program incorporates the “9 Steps to Collaboration” of the Convening Wheel, which is also found in our book, “The Art of Convening”. We use this as a practical field-guide and a road map.
