Explore Conversational Leadership with a small group of peers

Introductory Salons are gatherings of up to 14 people interested in learning more about the Seven Elements of Conversational Leadership. Salons are comprised of eight sessions held virtually and facilitated by one or two of the Invitas Faculty. The intent of the Salons is to give participants a vibrant and meaningful connection to each of the elements and to foster the application of the elements in ones’ personal or vocational life.

In an hour and forty-five minutes, each session will cover one of the elements in an engaging, experiential way. Small group and pairs exercises, whole group conversation and an overview of each element by the facilitator will happen in each session. There are light assignments and conversation partner sessions in between the scheduled meetings.

What Participants Say

I feel more openness to future possibilities in my life; less urgency, more excitement, more offering of grace to myself and more offering of my presence to others.

Participant, Fall 2024 Salon Series

I feel more aligned with what I'm doing in this season of life. I feel like it was exactly what I needed at the right time.

Participant, Fall 2024 Salon Series

My participation in the Invitas Salon has reshaped how I explore, evaluate and pivot in the conversations I'm having, both internally as well as externally... I am better equipped to listen and to be present, to make observations and to ask for input.

Participant, Fall 2024 Salon Series

The breakout groups were wonderful, and as we got to know one another, I felt very heard, and I was happy to hear whoever was in my group! Having a partner to meet with every week was great, and I enjoyed the conversations each meeting generated.

Participant, Spring 2025 Salon Series

The container of the seven elements and the people it brought together provided a space in which I found it easy to be genuine and forthcoming.
