JOIN US FOR 2.5 DAYS OF FRESH AIR.

Many of us have returned to work post pandemic only to discover the world has changed. There is a need to build compelling shared work and coherent relationships across our communities, organizations and institutions to generate concrete forward movement.

The Outside invites you to explore how we engage with each other to deliver results in an increasingly complex and fast paced environment. Along with our extensive global experience, The Outside hosting team includes Tim Merry, a founder of the Art of Hosting (AoH), Tuesday (Ryan-Hart) Rivera, an AoH global steward who centers equity into the practice, Dr. Gabrielle Donnelly, a longtime AoH practitioner-scholar, and Gian Paul Ganzoni, a senior organizational development strategist. You’ll be in good company – join us!

No matter what sector we work in, what community we live in, or what family we were born into, we are all faced with situations that demand people work together across their differences. The Art of Hosting Conversations that Matter with The Outside (also known as the Art of Participatory Leadership) offers simple yet powerful participatory practices to host generative conversations that can lead to collective action and long lasting change. The Art of Hosting is more than just a training program. These participatory leadership approaches are used in diverse contexts worldwide, scaling from the personal to the systemic using personal practice, dialogue, facilitation and the co-creation of ways forward to address complex challenges.
