What’s your favorite place?

What's your favorite place to collaborate, kibitz, and all around community build?

The location of any group meeting conveys a message all on its own.  Some of our most moving and magical collaborative moments have occurred by taking a twist on the usual board room or office meeting space. For example, we have facilitated and hosted in our own homes or in coffee shops (think First Nation spirituality conversations while nestled in circular placed couches or watching strength inspired movie clips while lounging in a family setting). Several times we have held meetings and celebrations out of the usual conference room and donned outdoor gear (think strategic planning scavenger hunt in a park or annual networking events while walking on the beach - true stories).

So if you are looking for some mindful meeting magic remember to think about the physical space and location. Being intentional sets the tone for the type of interaction that will evolve.

• If you are thinking creative - be playful and unexpected with the environment.
•  If you are thinking renewal and rejuvenation – design a space to be calm and filled with natural elements. 
• If you are thinking relationship building and networking – use a space to allow movement and connection.

Your turn...tell us your favorite place to do it. Collaboration that is!
