Priya Parker: The Art of Gathering
Priya Parker is a facilitator, strategic advisor, and founder of Thrive Labs, at which she helps activists, elected officials, corporate executives, educators, and philanthropists create transformative gatherings. She is the author of The Art of Gathering: How We Meet and Why It Matters*.
Key Points
- What creates meaning in a gathering is conversation, not the functional details of the event.
- We’re often not totally clear on the purpose of our gatherings.
- We don’t need to gather more often, but we need to do a better job when we do gather.
