SUMMARY:Priya Parker
DESCRIPTION:Priya Parker opens Week Nine of the 2026 Chautauqua Lecture Series and the theme of “The Importance of Gathering” by helping us take a deeper look at how anyone can create collective meaning in modern life\, one gathering at a time. She is a facilitator\, strategic adviser\, acclaimed author of The Art of Gathering: How We Meet and Why it Matters\, and the host of The Art of Gathering Digital Course. She writes and teaches on Group Life\, her Substack publication aimed to make “group help” as normal as “self help.”  \nDrawing from her diverse training in conflict resolution\, business management\, public policy and community-building\, her talks dive into the anatomy of gathering with purpose. Whether she is talking about gathering as a 21st-century leadership skill\, fostering belonging among remote teams\, the art of hosting meetings everyone wants to attend\, or connecting people across identities\, backgrounds and hierarchies\, Parker gives her audiences the skills they need to succeed.  \nParker has helped numerous clients develop better in-person and virtual gatherings\, including tech and Fortune 500 companies\, leading non-profits\, education groups and government agencies\, among others.  \nParker has spoken on the TED Main Stage and her sessions have been viewed over 3 million times. The Art of Gathering: How We Meet and Why It Matters was named a Best Business Book of the Year by Amazon\, Esquire Magazine\, NPR\, the Financial Times\, 1-800-CEO-READS and Bloomberg. In 2023\, The Wall Street Journal tapped Parker as their work expert for their “Future of Everything” series. Her work has been featured in The New York Times\, The Wall Street Journal\, Forbes.com\, Oprah.com\, Real Simple Magazine\, Glamour\, “The Today Show” and “Morning Joe\,” among others.
