Upcoming Events and Programs

“So wonderful to connect today. The welcoming nature of the group is striking and differentiates CPL.”

Create Transformation

Through the lens of The Art of Convening we teach organizational and community leaders (people like you) the power of acting from purpose.

As a core expression of Purposeful Leadership, convening takes the potential in each person and amplifies it through connection and engagement.  Brain science shows that meeting performance and outcomes significantly improve when you take time to connect, even in the simplest of ways.  

At the heart of the matter is . . . creating powerful spaces of authentic engagement for learning, collaboration, and growth. Spaces of Welcome, Safety, and Belonging.

We are celebrating 20 years of Art of Convening Trainings and programs!
