Leading By Convening Trainer to Trainer
Leading by Convening is about shaping traditional meetings in a new way, focusing on content and building relationships!
Use the Leading by Convening (LbC) framework to engage stakeholders in improving results for infants, toddlers, children, and youth with disabilities. Today’s leaders face urgent challenges with short timelines for producing positive outcomes. Effective leaders understand the need to cultivate habits that widen their area of impact across roles and levels of the system to support sustainable change.
Learn more about how to apply these essential habits coalescing around issues, ensuring relevant participation, and doing the work together to help achieve state goals.
