267 - Elevating Corporate Gatherings with Empathy and Engagement Strategies with Lindsey Caplan

Gather around my podcast airwaves for a special hour of meaningful moments and messages, as Lindsey Caplan brings us into her world of gathering.

A Hollywood screenwriter for Malcolm in the Middle, a Silicon Valley Organisational Psychologist and an educator for Dreamworks Animation, Lindsey is a miraculous mind with a showstopper of an oeuvre.

Along the way, she’s gathered a collection of learnings in her back pocket from these three disciplines, teaching her the simple power of bringing people together over a purpose. Her company The Gathering Effect takes a fresh approach to organisational change, crafting strategies to meet in effective ways.

Find out about:

• Lindsey’s definition of gathering and why it is a tool for change
• Why we mustn’t over-index on tools without fully understanding how to use them; instead we must first focus on the effect
• Why gatherings should be designed around one of four desired effects: compliance, entertainment, engagement and informing
• The role that environment plays in gatherings
• What we can learn about emotional connection, and therefore entertainment, from comedians and musicians
• The causality of company culture in gatherings: its ability to influence and be influenced in how organisations meet
