"We want to create a way of working as a whole community, agencies and us together, that creates hope and optimism"

Art of Hosting
Art of Hosting is about convening conversations that matter using methods, maps, and planning tools to engage groups and teams in meaningful conversation, deliberate collaboration, and group-supported action for the common good.

Increasingly it is about involving community leaders who:
-- want to learn to lead without being possessive
-- want to be helpful without taking credit, and
-- are ready to let go in order to achieve more for the common good.

At the heart is the discipline of asking really useful questions: Albert Einstein said: If I had an hour to solve a problem and my life depended on the solution, I would spend the first 55 minutes determining the proper question to ask, for once I know the proper question, I could solve the problem in less than 5 minutes.
