“Convening” can be defined as bringing together a group of people to advance a common goal or purpose. The convening of key stakeholders (e.g., staff, leadership, board members, partners, funders, clients) has the power to accelerate transformation.
The three-pronged Inspiration Quest model is well suited for convenings of all types. Participants are guided to return to a state of inspired thought (developing or reaffirming a shared vision, generating new ideas, exploring the possibilities), while designing plans for focused action and candidly discussing the ultimate enablers of true transformation.
Using a highly inclusive and tailored approach, Claire Lachance personally plans and facilitates a wide range of convenings including:
- Strategic planning retreats
- Board and staff retreats
- Collaborative (multi organization) meetings and retreats
- Community dialogues and input sessions
- Exploratory discussions
- Focus groups
- Training workshops
- Executive coaching workshops and retreats
