For some reason I'm awfully bad at bringing people together. There's something about the task that I can't seem to grasp, no matter how much I try and fail. Is there anyone on LW who started out with no talent for this, but managed to improve through hard work?

Yes. I tried and failed to run a student social/special interest group for a while, interspersed with low- to medium-quality leadership conferences on occasion. After a year (of the school variety, so nine months) of running weekly meetings and hosting lecture events I got to be pretty decent.
