Convening

“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
