"I felt the magic, a sizzle in the air, a sense that people knew they were arriving into a special experience, even into a sacred space. Michelle brings such a radiance of warmth into the room that we were all simply rapt. All of her communication superpowers from running organizations make the conversation between the poems as remarkable and enlightening as the poems themselves." - LC

Sun Mar 1- Mon Mar 2
Asilomar is hosting poet David Whyte on Feb 27-Mar 1st, and then hosting two of us on Faculty at David's Institute for Conversational Leadership will facilitate an "add-on" that introduces Seven Elements of Conversational Leadership and weaves David's poetry (and some of my mine) into our process.
