Invitation to a “Futurecast” on March 13

One of the great joys of working in the field of group facilitation and transformative decision-making is the opportunity to collaborate with incredibly insightful and inspiring people.


Brent Robertson is a founding partner at Fathom (fathom.net), a Connecticut-based consultancy firm that describes themselves as “facilitators, thinkers, and makers obsessed with leaving you with renewed enthusiasm for and a clearer path to your ideal future.” (He was also a guest in one of the most riveting episodes of my “Tell Me More…” podcast, from September 2021, on the topic “White Responsibility.”)

Brent has invited me to lead a virtual Sip Session, Fathom’s monthly roundtable for thought leaders. Please join us for this free (and sales pitch–free) exchange of ideas. There’s no speechifying - just a great exercise of sharing perspectives and sparking fresh thinking.

Futurecast: A Collaborative Journey into Forward-Focused Leadership

The future is unknowable, but it’s incredibly malleable. So, let’s elevate our focus beyond today’s worries, distractions and constraints and embrace the possibilities of tomorrow. This exercise isn’t just about guessing what might happen, it’s a precious opportunity to collaborate in recognizing the skills, resources, and connections we can cultivate now to prepare for what lies ahead.

Most leaders are accustomed to thinking about mission accomplishment. But what if one of the most important leadership lessons is that sometimes the mission isn't the project, the initiative, or the outcome?
