THOUGHT LEADER GATHERINGS: HOW THEY WORK

Thought Leader Gatherings™ bring inspired leaders together to create potential for personal and collective genius. The Gatherings are a journey, not a destination, using methods that foster time for reflection and exploration of the key questions of life and leadership.

Program Design:
Over the past eight years, we have honed the signature Thought Leader Gathering™ program, embracing key principles and beliefs that we create the opportunity to embody wisdom and integrate it into learning and action.

Skill Creation:
Together we learn the skills of creating a new language and behavior, in an environment that allows for profound creativity and leadership.

Change and Learning:
We keep our ear to the ground for thought leaders who articulate emerging paradigms. In four potent hours, participants evaluate their own leadership beliefs through shared stories of journey, change and action. Each session speaks to the development of new theories about change and learning.

Commitment to Action:
There is power in the commitment of the new leader to move conversation into practical action. At the close of each session each participant makes a commitment to synthesize their learnings from the conversation into action.

Leadership Development:
– Teambuilding: develop a more aligned and cohesive team.

– Culture: reinforce awareness of the organizational culture within your organization.

– Perspective: help broaden perspective, encouraging development of the ‘being’ side of leaders.

– Creating effective meetings: using the principles and format as designed by Heartland Institute to achieve a greater level of authenticity, productivity and effectiveness.

– Personal Renewal: participants report feeling ‘refreshed’ and energized’ and note the benefits of developing or expanding their local network of support.

Wisdom in Action (bringing it home): The last question is, "How do I bring what is needed into my organization and the world?" Through our time together possibilities have emerged and expanded. Participants return to activate their learnings because moving from learning to wisdom in action is the long-term goal.
