WORK WITH PRIYAHelping you design meaningful, creative gatherings.
Most organizations invest in strategy, talent, and operations. Very few invest in how people actually come together. Priya works with leaders and teams to design the moments that shape culture and decisions: how people meet, work through conflict, and build trust.
WAYS TO WORK WITH PRIYA
There are three ways to bring Priya into your work: advisory, for leaders she works with closely over time; facilitation, for the high-stakes meetings and offsites she designs and leads in person; and speaking, for stages and organizations, from TED to Fortune 500 companies to nonprofits and government agencies.
ADVISORY
DESCRIPTIONPriya takes on a small number of clients each year, including Fortune 500 companies, nonprofits, political campaigns, and community organizations. She works closely with them over time and might help a leadership team plan a retreat, coach an executive through a merger, advise a campaign through a critical stretch, or help a community work through a hard stakeholder conversation. She brings twenty years of facilitation experience directly to the specific people and pressures inside your organization.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
Leaders hosting a high-stakes gathering, a board vote, a merger, a retreat
Organizations wanting to bring a gathering framework into their culture, not just one event
Teams stuck avoiding the same hard conversation
Leaders who want ongoing support, not a one-time fix
Anyone who wants more trust and honesty built across their team over time
FACILITATION
DESCRIPTIONPriya helps design and lead high-stakes gatherings, in person or virtual, of every kind: a leadership retreat, a stakeholder negotiation, a community meeting where people don't agree. Sometimes that means planning the entire day, from the invitation to the closing moment. Sometimes it means helping a group finally surface the tension they've been avoiding instead of working around it. Most people treat these moments as logistics. Priya treats them as what actually builds or breaks trust, and decides whether a group can work through what's in front of them.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
Leadership teams planning a retreat or offsite, in person or virtual
Communities and stakeholder groups working through real disagreement
Organizations facing one high-stakes gathering they need to get right
Teams stuck avoiding the same tension instead of surfacing it
Anyone tired of gatherings that go nowhere
PRIYA IN ACTION
SPEAKING
DESCRIPTIONPriya has spoken on the TED main stage and works with CEOs, nonprofit leaders, students, and community organizers across tech and Fortune 500 companies, education groups, and government agencies. Drawing on twenty years in conflict resolution, business, and public policy, she mixes real stories with research on gathering as a leadership skill, building belonging on remote teams, and running meetings people actually want to attend. Audiences walk away with language and tools they can use in their next meeting, or their next hard conversation.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
Conferences that want a talk people remember
Companies hosting an all-hands or leadership summit
Tech, Fortune 500, and government organizations
Nonprofits and education groups trying to strengthen how their teams gather and connect
Anyone who wants practical tools, not just inspiration
DIGITAL COURSE
DESCRIPTIONAnyone has the ability to gather well with the right set of skills. Over seven weeks, Priya walks you through the core elements of hosting well: naming why you're really gathering, shaping how you spend your time together, crafting an invitation that intrigues, opening with a threshold that orients your guests, designing for connection, and owning your power as host so things don't fall apart. Take it on your own, or take it as a cohort, with weekly agendas and defined roles built for teams and communities who want to shift their whole gathering culture together.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
Anyone planning a wedding, retreat, or milestone gathering
Teams whose meetings have stopped working
Communities and classrooms building real connection
Hosts of virtual, hybrid, or in-person gatherings
Anyone who wants to gather with more purpose
