Six Conversations — Belonging Through Better Questions

The Problem

"In most groups, a few people talk and the rest listen. Leaders carry the load, members stay an audience, and doubts and gifts go unspoken. Changing how people meet, in small groups with better questions, changes who owns the group."

Who it's for

The right fit

Designed for For anyone who convenes an ongoing group: residence and society leaders, team leads, small groups in congregations, neighbourhood and community groups, classes, boards and families who meet.

Many groups meet for years and never really talk: people attend, listen and leave. A companion to Peter Block's Community: The Structure of Belonging, with Priya Parker, Adam Grant, David Yeager, Geoffrey Cohen and Marissa King, this course shows you how to hold six conversations in small groups over a season (invitation, possibility, ownership, dissent, commitment and gifts), so that the people in your community become its owners.
