Finding shared purpose and designing collective visions
“I have spent a lot of time making stories on stage make sense for audiences; now I spend a lot of time making stories make sense for participants who didn’t think they were building stories together but actually are - or could be.”
What we accomplish together is directly proportional to how we accomplish together
How do we -
...build trusting relationships within systems and places between leaders and constituents?
...benefit from collaborative problem-solving across fields, sectors and disciplines?
...hold inclusive, difficult dialogues and stay in the room?
...devise accountability practices centered in creativity and consistency?
