The course you are about to take has a great history of growing with the practical experience of hundreds of very accomplished participants through the Center for Purposeful Leadership (CPL). Leaders at all levels of leading organizations both attended actual meetings and gatherings where the skills were captured. Many of them then reviewed the initial course, the Art of Convening, which was based upon the book by the same name. Senior leaders were so pleased with the content that they brought that initial course to their employees. Fortune 500 companies, non profits, and national consultants have relied on the course ever since.
Who is this course for?
Meeting with Purpose is an online learning platform providing a foundation for all of our Art of Convening programs— as well as an ongoing field guide for ALL practicing conveners to learn and experience how to create authentic engagement through meetings, gatherings, and conversations— a core competency of purposeful leadership.
Testimonials
“CPL helped me use the Art of Convening to plan an important series of meetings that were much more successful as a result. I received feedback from participants that these meetings were among the most effective they’d ever experienced, and it was clear to me that they resulted in productive outcomes and very positive energy. The Art of Convening works, and CPL is a valuable partner!”
“I came away from The Art of Convening Training (AoC) more energized, focused and ready to forge ahead with an appreciation of what was missing in our traditional approach to holding meetings. We have implemented the AoC within our organization and using the convening principles are gaining greater/deeper participation and collaboration in our meetings.”
“The Art of Convening was a gift to my professional and personal life! By the end of the program I was using the AoC principles to design my meetings and people actually started looking forward to attending! I am looking forward to being in touch with both Patricia and Craig to learn more to bring soul and breath back to board and meeting rooms!”
