Our Convener DNA
Approachable, Inclusive.
We’re creators of safe spaces for all from the start. Our Conveners are masters in the art of active listening.
Passionate.
Our Conveners are focused on dialogue design and the subject matter itself working to set in motion big-change.
Empathetic, Savvy, and Respectful.
Our Conveners find the delicate balance between understanding when to encourage discussion and when to step in, hold the space and reframe.
Actively Listening.
Our Conveners come with their own set of beliefs but are also highly aware. We affirm our values while giving space for others to affirm their own.
Content Immersed.
Our Conveners possess a robust grasp of the subject matter in order to provide valuable insight into the wicked problem at hand.
Stubbornly Optimistic.
Despite the heaviness of the challenges, our Conveners bring lightness and agility to the experience.
Modeling Leadership.
We work alongside our Institutional Conveners on a peer level to solve complex issues. Our Conveners demonstrate compassionate leadership.
No Egos.
Our Conveners come into every project with an open mind and leave their egos at the door in order to wholly support the dialogue space.
Trusted Partner.
By fully entrenching themselves in the design and implementation of the dialogue spaces, our Conveners develop strong and lasting relationships with both our Institutional Conveners and the dialoguers engaging in the dialogue spaces.
