This class offers two things: (1) it gives an overview of sociocratic circle structure – circles, roles, linking, General Circle, Mission Circle and special circles. In the second part, we will (2) draw your own organizational structures and get feedback on the draft.
The selection process is used to choose people who will become facilitators, leaders, and delegates. It’s one of the cornerstones of sociocracy. It helps make decisions that avoid popularity contests and secret ballots and fosters transparency, feedback and focus on who can serve in the role.
The performance review process in sociocracy is a 360-degree process to give feedback to people in roles. It’s structured and optimized to give high-quality feedback in a safe and relaxed atmosphere. It ends with a peer-based improvement plan that supports personal and professional growth and accountability.
This class is a potent combination of short teachings and lots of practice to mature as a facilitator and address the most common pitfalls. Every session has a theme: Integrating objections I+II, Staying on topic I+II, Dealings with feelings, Muddy situations.
The sociocratic meeting format is one of the gems sociocracy offers. It’s inclusive, connecting, and human-centered, while providing focus on the work. Learn in this two hour session how meetings can be improved instantly and how to build a meeting culture over time that fits your culture and gives you the meetings you want.
This is a 3-session introduction class to compassionate communication (Nonviolent Communication, NVC). It covers basic concepts with many examples. All sessions are participatory with time for questions and answers.
NVC meshes beautifully with sociocracy because it allows us to listen well, make ourselves understood on a deeper level, and explore together how we can co-create solutions that work for everyone.
The classes will be taught by Jerry Koch-Gonzalez, co-founder and staff member of Sociocracy For All and certified NVC trainer. All sessions are participatory with time for questions, role-plays in small groups.
This is a general introduction to sociocracy in 2×3 hours (Sept 7 and Sept 21) that covers structure, decision-making and meetings.
