Gather the Tribe.

As Priya Parker well illustrates in her book, "The Art of Gathering: How We Gather and Why it Matters," there's an art to how we meet.  

This entry concludes a series of articles inspired by her work. I highly recommend taking a read for yourself; perhaps you'll find different inspirations?

To recap, to better gather your tribe and inspire them to do the "something better," you'll need to:

• Identify the chosen ones;

• Exclude those that don't belong;

• Pick an appropriate size;

• Serve your audience;

• Equalize everyone;

• Protect the event;

• Encourage connection;

• Create other worlds;

• Assert your mission;

• Perfect the invite;

• Encourage conflict;

• Give a gift; and

• Embrace the end.

If you feel these ideas helped you, share them with others. We're only as strong as the community we build. Help me make a stronger one!
