Dear Transitioners

Can you please consider this final invitation for yourself and share
it with your committed change agent colleagues and networks? We still
have several places available.

Our current crucial public conversations are dominated by win-lose
politics and media driven, crisis focussed drama and short-termism.
People don't fully engage or are depicted as hapless victims; and
leaders are criticised as never good enough, continually letting us
down. We often feel frustrated and stuck.

We need a new conversation. We need people strong enough to hold a
container to host and lead these new conversations.

Our positive and engaging future lies in collaboration and innovation.
This requires a conversation of trust. possibility and engagement.

The Art of Hosting and Harvesting Conversations that Matter
demonstrates and teaches the structures, processes and skills to lead
crucial multi-stakeholder conversations.

If these challenges and opportunities speak to you please join us for
New Conversations for A Better Future an Art of Hosting and Harvesting
Conversations That Matter training workshop for all people interested
in dialogue, collaboration and participative decision making. It will
be held at Murramarang Eco Resort on the NSW south coast east of
Canberra on 28-31 July.

I look forward to seeing you there.
If you are a change agent moved to attend but there is a barrier
please let me know.

Kind regards
