If you happen to be in Wellington, New Zealand on Tue, 18 Aug, 5:15-7:15pm, then come along to the next public fireside.rs workshop.
If you convene humans to collaborate or facilitate learning in your organisation / company / vocation, then this will be of interest and of use—participants will explore through a set of immersive experiences how connection can be designed, nurtured and amplified.
This will be the fifth iteration of this no-fee workshop as I continue to hone the experience and looking for a handful more opportunities to deliver before turning it into a paid offer (if you’re interested here are the details on what you get / I need). And here’s what previous hosts have said:
“DK’s passion for sharing ways to bring people together creatively is palpable, and his skills of curating and weaving diverse elements into a cohesive package is evident. Loved this workshop – it really got the synapses firing! The ‘learning through doing’ format was really powerful for creating memories of the different gathering configurations that I find myself referring back to often. Cool reminder of how quickly humans form a connection when we create the space for it!”
Freda Wells, founder of Goodlife Collective (host of the 1st ever fireside.rs workshop)
“DK has created something special with Fireside.rs, and it was a genuine joy to watch him transform a room of curious humans as he led them through different gathering shapes. He is a warm, charismatic facilitator, and his decades of experience are evident in the way he holds attention with both playfulness and purpose. What stood out most was his ability to hold the container with real safety and intentionality, while letting the experience become what it needed to based on the people in the room. A true masterclass in human connection!”
Natasha Zimmerman, founder of Unchatter (host of 2nd workshop)
“DK held the room at our Te Uru Tāngata workshop with real skill and care. The session showed us, practically, how meeting format itself decides who gets a voice. Our people left with something they could take straight back into how they design their own spaces to host more inclusive conversations and more productive meetings.”
Maretha Smit, Chief Executive of Te Uru Tāngata Centre for Workplace Inclusion (host of 3rd workshop)
“DK created an open and trusting environment that made it easy to engage and learn. The combination of innovative workshop formats, punctuated by insights from some very ‘clever humans’, sparked new ideas and challenged me to think differently about how we ‘gather’ people together. I left inspired, energised and with plenty of ideas.”
Anisha Patel, Applied Research + Consulting Group, Steelcase Discovery Center, London (host of 4th workshop)
Hope to see you there, and if you haven’t signed up to receive the fireside.rs newsletter then please do, as I’m sharing monthly insights plus conversations with impressive souls who are also gathering humans in creative / productive ways, such as these latest two:
