03 / Rare Rooms™ · Cultural, philanthropic, and business applications
$20,000 raised · Ongoing client work · A new co-host partnership
- The situation
- Rare Rooms™ bring carefully selected people together around a clear purpose, with attention to what can happen during the room and afterward.
- What Lighthouse did
- Kristi helped an advisory client create the Washington National Opera Rare Room™ at Field & Main. The work connected the people, purpose, conversation, and ask. Pinnacle Powered™ brings the Rare Rooms™ method inside an organization.
- The result
- The WNO Rare Room™ brought together 30 guests and raised $20,000 in support of Washington National Opera. It also led to ongoing work through the advisory client relationship. In a separate Pinnacle Dinner example, Drew Burdick, Founder of StealthX, attended as a guest and became Kristi’s partner and Operator Dinner co-host.
- After the room
- The collaboration continued with The Voice at the Table™ on October 8 in Tysons. Across five Pinnacle Dinners™, $5 million in business movement demonstrates the broader commercial application of the method.
