How do customized ORBITS OF INFLUENCE^® events
create powerful change within businesses
and nonprofit organizations?

The Orbits leadership dialogue model has unique applications
for the corporate and nonprofit realms.

Corporations, schools and nonprofits have asked us to
collaborate with them to create this dialogue space for
their constituencies, where the scope of the dialogue
topics (our "Universe of Ideas") is customized to
encompass, and enable the participants to address,
the specific universe of issues most important and critical
to that particular group.  

Because the Universe of Ideas or scope of discussion
for each Orbits event is “scalable” –
in other words, the scope of dialogue for each gathering
may be selected by the organization or group of participants
holding the event – the ORBITS OF INFLUENCE^® model may be
customized to enable diverse groups of any size
to address critical issues within the safe and open space
that dialogue creates.

ORBITS OF INFLUENCE is increasingly being asked to help
guide critical conversations around some of the most
important leadership issues, and to create the space for
civil discourse around even potentially divisive issues -
such as Immigration, Homelessness, City
Governance, Globalization, Multicultural Cities,
Minority Business Development, Education Reform,
Same-Sex Marriage, Race Relations, Beliefs Across Faiths,
War and Peace, and more - for which groups had not
previously had an appropriate forum or process
to address these sensitive issues successfully,
prior to their use of the ORBITS OF INFLUENCE model.  

We are now offering these 
customized Orbits dialogues 
for businesses, community
organizations, and schools 
(secondary/high school as
well as college) on a fee-for-
service/customizable program basis, as more leaders
recognize that ORBITS OF INFLUENCE is able to create
the space and provide the process for transformational,
diverse leadership dialogue to take place around
any set of issues - the specific "UNIVERSE OF IDEAS"
most critical to a particular business or community group. 

Moreover, Partnership Platform options make these
programs self-sustaining, and often revenue-producing,
for convening organizations.

The Trajectory - & Potential -
