Meet Your Hosting Team:
Jerry Nagel
believes strongly that participatory leadership and dialogue
processes create communities and organizations where there is
opportunity for all voices to be present and heard. These processes
bring forth the knowledge, wisdom and leadership capacity that is
within each of us, our organizations, and our communities. Jerry is
deeply committed to hosting meaningful conversations around
many of our most difficult issues.
Joe Bartmann
helps resilient groups and communities co-create something better.
His work lives where chaordic design, rural life and culture-shifting
dialogue run together, and he finds the greatest lessons immersed
in the wildwether its in the woods and prairies, on the family farm
in McCook County, in the board room or at town hall. Joe believes
were all deeply connected and that we really can re-learn how to
listen to each other to build communities of possibility.
Deana Defoe
is known for her bold, but practical approach to helping
organizations, communities, and individuals. Her work centers on the
belief that authentic dialogue sparks innovative thinking and
collective wisdom, enhancing the web of life for us all. An
experienced educator, process designer, facilitator, trainer, and
coach, she hosts candid conversations that support change.
