In this episode I chat with Lindsay McDonald, an expert in fostering meaningful conversations and collective action within diverse communities and organizations.

Lindsay shares her experience facilitating a transformative session for a troubled school system using "liberating structures," which are intentional designs to encourage open and productive dialogues. We'll dive into specific methods like the "Triz" activity and Open Space Technology, which ignited creativity, reflection, and deep engagement among 200 participants.

Lindsay also introduces us to the concepts of simple, complicated, and complex situations, illustrating the importance of structures that enhance collective decision-making and individual agency. You'll hear about the versatility and impact of liberating structures, which are applicable across various fields and help build trust, connectivity, and optimism.

Whether you're seeking new ways to facilitate engagement within your team or looking to understand the dynamics of complex adaptive systems, this episode offers valuable insights that challenge traditional meeting formats and foster a sense of connection and shared purpose. Tune in as we explore these innovative tools for creating intentional, effective, and meaningful conversations.
