*Cost: $60

Gracious Space has helped over 15,000 people in 30 states and 45 countries to work better together around critical issues. The Center has created and used Gracious Space in many sectors, including health care, business, government, community, nonprofit, and schools. It helps create the space, both literally and figuratively, to allow all people to bring their “best stuff” to conversations, relationships, and the workplace in a non-critical, open-minded environment. The principles of Gracious Space shape environments (within and outside of ourselves) that encourage integrity, honesty, trust, deep listening, and continuous learning. This session provides a framework for creating a setting conducive to honoring diverse and dissenting opinions, as well as learning in public.

Whether the project is a leadership development program, community initiative, difficult conversation on race, a reorganization, performance appraisal, coaching conversation, new vision, mission or strategic plan, a new team, or mediation – Gracious Space can make the relationships stronger and the work flow more creatively. This session dives deeper into the tools to build trust, foster risk-tasking, and learn in public.

Gracious Space: a spirit and a setting where we invite the stranger and learn in public. Adapting the four elements of GS (spirit, setting, invite the stranger, and learning in public) to the unique cultural patterns of our communities requires creativity, playfulness and persistence. This Community of Practice is here to support practitioners by connecting them to each other, and to provide resources as we shepherd our communities toward a more healthy, just, and inclusive future. |

"In a world stretched to the limits of viability by divisive "us-them" thinking, we need a worldview founded upon a greater truth: the unity of humankind and the wholeness of the planet." -- Cover from Sharing the Rock This leadership model does just that!
