Meaningful Gatherings - with Lindsey Caplan

Lindsey Caplan is the Lead Consultant at The Gathering Effect, who specialise in helping HR Leaders, chiefs of staff, and marketing professionals to define, diagnose, and adjust their gatherings for the effect they want. Lindsey joins Lucinda to talk about the power of gatherings, especially in the new world of work, and how to ensure that they have maximum impact. KEY TAKEAWAYS Gatherings are one of the main tools that organisations can use in order to bring about, and implement, change on a meaningful scale. In the aftermath of the pandemic and its lockdowns, gatherings have become far less throwaway than they were before. People like to gather, but they need the purpose to be more impactful, and the results to be far more effective. The same characteristics that make a gathering more effective, are the same ones that make change stick. We must define the effect and then craft the gathering itself in order to meet that purpose. Gatherings are defined as "push or pull" - Push means it is being done "at" people, and Pull signifies a gathering being done "with" people.
