We rely too much on routine and the conventions of gatherings when we should focus on distinctiveness and the people involved. At a time when coming together is more important than ever, Parker sets forth a human-centered approach to gathering that will help everyone create meaningful, memorable experiences, large and small, for work and for play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on her expertise as a facilitator of high-powered gatherings around the world, Parker takes us inside events of all kinds to show what works, what doesn't, and why. She investigates a wide array of gatherings--conferences, meetings, a courtroom, a flash-mob party, an Arab-Israeli summer camp--and explains how simple, specific changes can invigorate any group experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a book that's both journey and guide, full of exciting ideas with real-world applications. \u003ci\u003eThe Art of Gathering\u003c\/i\u003e will forever alter the way you look at your next meeting, industry conference, dinner party, and backyard barbecue--and how you host and attend them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Call \u0026 Response Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44990444503109,"sku":"9781594634932","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/6621\/4213\/files\/9781594634932.webp?v=1778347892","url":"https:\/\/www.callandresponsechi.com\/products\/art-of-gathering-how-we-meet-and-why-it-matters","provider":"Call \u0026 Response Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
