Interested in group? My name is Angelo, and I am excited to share these conversations that explore what it means to live and grow within groups - from our early lives to our professional role as leaders. In these episodes, you will hear from some of the key figures practicing and writing about group dynamics from around the country and the world. It’s my hope that these dialogues will inform and challenge - so that we can all learn more about the vitalization that can occur through rich emotional engagement in group.
