Description
In this book, author Priya Parker shares how looking at gatherings with fresh eyes can make them both more productive and an incubator for deeper connections. A professional facilitator trained in group dialogue and conflict resolution, Parker presents her experiences evaluating and helping numerous types of gatherings, from casual to highly formalized, and uses these examples to illustrate how small changes in the approach to gathering can make a big difference for the people attending and the results they achieve.
Congregational leaders can use the reflections in this book as a guide to inspire creativity and intention to encourage both casual and formal gatherings to have a human-focused purpose that fosters greater connection and fertile results.
