ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Whether you're planning a single meeting or inviting people into a long-term community change effort, the invitation is where it succeeds or fails. Here are five principles to get it right.
Invitations aren't just logistics - they're where a gathering succeeds or falls apart before it even starts.
In this episode, Jessica and Erin dig into why a well-crafted invitation saves time, keeps efforts on track, and empowers people to actually participate, whether you're inviting someone to a single event or into a long-term community change effort.
Drawing on Priya Parker's The Art of Gathering, they walk through five principles for better invitations: letting your purpose act as both bouncer and recruiter, removing (or naming) barriers to full participation, matching your invitation to the participation you actually want, being clear about what's in it for the invitee, and never skipping the practical details.
