Ep48: Two Lessons from The Art of Gathering - a podcast by Beth Buelow

How many meetings or events have you attended this past week? Maybe you’ve invited people over for dinner, been to a birthday party, or you’ve gotten together in a favorite park for a hike. Chances are you’ve been in at least one work, client, or school meeting. Perhaps you’ve attended a conference, seminar, training, networking event, city council meeting, church gathering, book group, or Rotary luncheon. And how often have you left those gatherings feeling like it was time well-spent, that something was accomplished? Too often we come together with what we think is clear intention. But in reality, it’s murky at best, and a huge missed opportunity at worst. Our question this episode: how can we make sure our gatherings aren’t a complete waste of time?

Good conversations go hand-in-hand with good gatherings. In this episode, I share two lessons learned from my new favorite book, “The Art of Gathering," by Priya Parker, and use some of my own recent experiences as examples of gatherings gone right and wrong.
