In her digital course—The Art of Gathering—Priya Parker shares the story of a company anniversary party turned surprise rock concert. As their team grew upwards of 500, the leaders aspired to reinvigorate the spirit of the early days. The event was to begin at 11 a.m., though the doors were locked when everyone arrived.
Once they opened, they were greeted by strobe lights, a band made up of their team members, and the senior partners dancing. “In that moment, they were surprised and moved,” Parker explains in the course, which the team invited me to experience. “They realized that their hosts really get them and that: ‘We are still us. There is a way to grow and keep who we are.’”
