Q&A with Consensus Expert Laird Schaub

Sep 22 | 3-4pm Eastern
Q&A with Consensus Expert Laird Schaub
Do you have burning consensus questions? Join us for a 1-hour, casual Q&A session with longtime communitarian and consensus instructor Laird Schaub to learn best practices.
Consensus, if done well, helps develop group depth and cohesion—the very thing most crave when building community.
Whether you’re new to consensus or have experience, this webinar is for you. Laird has 35 years of experience working with over 150 groups that operate with consensus. In this session you’ll get targeted answers to your specific situation. Register below for one or more dates.
Meet the Facilitator
Laird Schaub
Laird’s specialty is up-tempo inclusive meetings that engage the full range of human input, teaching groups to work creatively with conflict and diversity—all the while being ruthless about capturing as much product as possible.
Laird lived for four decades at Sandhill Farm, an income-sharing rural community that he helped found. He also helped found the Foundation for Intentional Community, where he served as the main administrator for 28 years.
In 1987, he created a self-insurance fund for healthcare among income-sharing communities called PEACH (Preservation of Equity Accessible for Community Health) that he ran for 22 years. In addition to his expertise in community living, he’s parlayed his passion for good process into a consulting business focused on cooperative group dynamics, styled CANBRIDGE (Consensus And Network Building for Resolving Impasse and Developing Group Effectiveness), since 1987.

Teri’s presence, warmth, poise, experience and clarity. I quickly felt at ease and confident that she knew what she was talking about, and could share the material effectively, while also managing the group format. – Jeffrey B
