This seminar will enhance your ability to deeply listen to others and articulate questions and observations that lead to shifts in awareness and action.  Armed with these new skills, you will be able to use authentic conversations to discover new ways of thinking, cultivate more connected relationships, and focus on creating collaborative solutions – all to achieve a greater impact through philanthropy.

In this one-day seminar you will:

  • Learn the fundamental skills of listening deeply, asking powerful questions, and offering observations and feedback
  • Practice using these principles and skills in small groups
  • Understand how to apply them to critical relationships with trustees, staff, grantees, and community leaders
  • Develop an action plan for how you will use authentic conversations to strengthen a targeted relationship that you are focused on improving
