Again, her book, The Art of Gathering: How We Meet and Why It Matters, it’s a go-to book, if you want to with intention bring people together. She’s a facilitator, a strategic advisor. She really helps us take a deeper look at how anyone, all of us, can create collective meaning in modern life, kind of one gathering at a time.
It’s so perfect for right now, I can’t wait for you to hear it and meet Priya.īB: As I mentioned in my introduction, Priya Parker is trained in the field of conflict resolution, she has worked on race relations on American college campuses, she’s worked on peace processes in the Arab world, Southern Africa, and India. And so we dig into what happens when we prioritize people and connection over old rules and kind of unwritten or written policies. I did not expect to talk about this, but I had this kind of crazy wedding to Steve in 1994 that people still today when they see us will say, oh my God, your wedding was so different and weird and fun and unforgettable.īB: And it wasn’t because it was fancy, because it was a low budget wedding, it was because we, I didn’t know it then, but we had a very serious conversation before we started planning it, and we set these really intentional kind of inclusion and exclusion criteria for what was going to be okay for our wedding. We’re even going to deconstruct my wedding. Have you ever gone to a gathering or a conference, and you’re like, this is just so good, and you can’t really see the structure, but there’s something that’s holding everything together and everything feels purposeful? We’re going to talk about how that happens. I am talking with Priya Parker, who is a master facilitator, a strategic advisor, trained in conflict resolution, and she is the author of an incredible book that I recommend to pretty much everyone I know, and I’ve sent probably 20 copies of it to friends and leaders, and anyone who gathers people together, the book is called The Art of Gathering: How We Meet and Why It Matters.īB: Priya and I are going to dig into what it means to come together, even virtually right now, why connection requires intention and planning, and the often invisible structures that are inside of our most meaningful gatherings. I’m Brené Brown and this is Unlocking Us.īB: We have such a timely and important conversation for you today.
