Essential Conversations
Conversations imagining and building a world that works for all
Established March 2020 - more relevant than ever today
What is purposeful leadership? In a disruptive, VUCA* world, acting from purpose is the stabilizing force that creates the ability to focus on what matters, and engage to innovate and lead. Through intentional, convened conversations with thought leaders and community members, we can power our communities' impact to create an inclusive and interconnected world — a world that works for all.
Join an Essential Conversation to engage, be inspired by fellow purposeful leaders and change agents, and set/affirm your intention to have a positive impact with those you serve.
Conversation Starters include Meg Wheatley, Peter Block, Richard Leider, Juanita Brown, Raj Sisodia, Juana Bordas, Jeremy Solomons & Merveille Gakuba, Alan Briskin & Mary Gelinas, Bud Wilson, Marilyn King.
All conversations are recorded: this archival treasure is a key benefit of a CPL Communities Membership.
