For some planning guides to help tailor and craft a conversation, see Conversation Mapping Exercise for Potential Hosts and Facilitators. The table below combines suggested steps for pre-planning, conversation design and event planning.
All in One Planning Template

| 2. Who to invite? (family, rotary) |
| 3. How to approach? |
| 4. Potential Theme or Entrance Point? |
| 5. Conduct Community Research & Outreach to potential attendees (survey, what’s relevant to participants, what’s happening already) |
| 6. Revisit 2 - 4 above |
| 7. Design conversation: Introductions Part 1: Crisis & Impacts (why important, urgency) Part 2: Collective Action (power of working together, positive story) Part 3: Processing Emotion (coping) Part 4-1: Areas for Change (i.e. climate plans/emissions, equity) Part 4-2: Actions and Solutions (brainstorms, idea-sharing, what can be done, what is being done); Envisioning a Better World |
| 8. Research potential "What’s Next" steps (groups to join, actions to support, lobbying) |
| 9. Decide on what Good Outcomes would look like (second convo, more KTCCs, taking action) |
| 10. Set firm date and venue for conversation and send invitations |
| 11. Assemble resources needed (edited slides, local photos, script) |
