Why you should listen

Priya Parker is an internationally-recognized expert helping us take a deeper look at how anyone can create collective meaning in modern life, one gathering at a time. As a group conflict facilitator, strategic advisor and speaker, she has spent more than 20 years helping leaders and communities have complicated conversations during times of heat and transition.

Frustrated by dull and disappointing gatherings, Parker set out to rewrite the rulebook for creating transformative group experiences in our workplaces and our communities. She interviewed more than 100 gatherers and wove together their wisdom and her own experiences in her acclaimed book, The Art of Gathering: How We Meet and Why It Matters.
