Episode 31 – The ProAction Cafe is a group conversation approach where people can offer peer support for each other’s ideas, projects, and challenges. In this episode, I interview Ria Baeck, to learn the origin story of this method that she co-created with Rainer von Leoprechting. She shares how the rounds of conversations work and we explore how this conversation approach allows you to tap a collective intelligence in the room.
