Frequently asked questions

Who is this course intended for?

Everyone! This course is intended for teams seeking to improve communication, collaboration, and accountability.

How do we take the course?

This course was created for flexibility in delivery. There are video recordings of each module, created for the videos to stand alone with just an in-person facilitator. The facilitator’s responsibility is to pause the video in marked sections when participants are asked to engage with the content, monitor outlined discussions among the groups, and provide any needed support.

If you would prefer to have this course instructed live by someone on your staff in place of the recordings, we have also included the PowerPoint slide deck complete with presenter notes as well as instructor notes for each module. Participant engagement is a crucial element to this course because we believe the most profound learning requires participation.

We recommend this course be delivered in a way that is conducive to the collaborative activities included.

We are intentional about designing learning that is practical and purposeful. Whether you spread these modules out over a week or incorporate the full course in an upcoming staff retreat, we are confident that sharing in this learning can help foster a caring and collaborative work culture within your organization.
