How can learning impact how you communicate?

September 8th @ 10am CT

With Mark L. Vincent's new book that released in June, listening helping learning: Core Competencies of Process Consulting, we are excited to offer this exclusive workshop series focused on understanding and tackling the process consulting approach.


Cost: Free

We are excited to share this event exclusively with all LIVE attendees and it will not be recorded.

How will this workshop work?

We'll be reviewing a case study about learning to exchange ideas with competitive colleagues. Mark L. Vincent and special guest Catherine Draeger Pederson will facilitate the conversation with Live Q&A.

What is the case study we'll be reviewing?

Oftentimes, local homeless shelters are at capacity for the winter months. Even more concerning, the need to shelter women and children keeps growing without any winter shelter space available. As a temporary solution, homeless individuals are sheltered in warming rooms within churches and community centers, though it’s clear these solutions are not sustainable. In response, MilCats, a local foundation, invited five community-based organizations (CBOs) focused on homelessness to come together to tackle the need for additional winter shelter in the city. Tired of throwing together temporary fixes, stakeholders committed to working together to find a lasting solution.

To create a stronger collaboration, MilCats is providing each of the five nonprofit partners with $10,000 for the staff time to participate in a series of meetings. However, when the diverse group of stakeholders, comprised of executive directors, front-line staff, and individuals with lived experience come into the same room, it isn’t long before each of them is jockeying for the floor, hopeful that their idea will win out over the others. There are whispers amongst the nonprofit leaders present that the foundation will give significant seed money to the solution, but nothing has been confirmed. With this underlying assumption, the nonprofit representatives are more focused on how their organization can get more “face time,” and there is little effort made to collaborate.
