SUMMARY:Nonviolent Communication Introduction (3-sessions)
DESCRIPTION: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\, role-plays in small groups. \nWhat others have said\nJerry’s workshop was so awesome. I loved the framework and the space for vulnerability. It was really useful to work through the framework in small groups and his personal stories were super engaging and informative.” \n“I loved the part about making requests\, because people often assume that others know what their needs are. \nAccess\nAll events will be held on zoom (a video platform).

SUMMARY:Full class: Performance\, leadership and accountability in horizontal organizations
DESCRIPTION:Topic\n\nThis class will open your eyes in many ways on how to get things done as peers – without power-over and coercion.\nWe will have a closer look at operations – how can we be more productive with workflows and roles? For the operational roles from the free class\, will briefly review what operational roles are and then write a role together to practice.But there isn’t only work\, there are also people. That is why we will take a deep dive into constructive feedback and good formats for giving feedback\, like circle feedback and full performance reviews.The final point will be a reflection – how can we increase accountability if we’re all equals? In a horizontal setting\, who is someone accountable to? And what does that mean for leadership?Topics \n\nInterpersonal feedback\nPerformance reviews\nWorkflows\nCollaborative leadership\n\nSmall group exercises: \n\nWriting Role descriptions\nGive feedback (for outside person)\nCircle feedback\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\nSchedule\n\n0:00-0:10\nOverview\n\n\n\n0:10-0:25\nPresentation + questions\nOperations\n\n\n\n0:30-0:55\nExercise (small group)\nWriting role descriptions\n\n\n\n0:45-1:05\nPresentation + questions\nWorkflows\n\n\n\n1:05-1:25\nPresentation + questions\nInterpersonal feedback\n\n\n\n1:25-1:50\nExercise (small group)\nGiving constructive feedback\n\n\n\n1:50-2:05\nPresentation + Qs\nPerformance reviews\n\n\n\n2:55-2:35\nExercise (small group)\nCircle feedback\n\n\n\n2:35-2:50\nReflection (plenary)\nLeadership and accountability\n\n\n\n2:50-3:00\nClosing and feedback\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\nLocal time zones\n\nThis event is one 3-hour session on Nov 22.

SUMMARY:Facilitation practice - everything at once! (5 weekly sessions)
DESCRIPTION:Topic\n\nThis is the right class for you if you want to be that weathered facilitator that sees a way forward\, no matter what happens.

We expect you know how to run picture forming and proposal shaping\, you know how to run a consent process\, and you know how to do a selection process. \nNow it’s time to highlight and master all the stuff in between: when people object and it’s not easy to address their objection\, or if it’s not clear what their objection is. When there are too many options on the table and everyone feels overwhelmed. When you’re under time pressure and you need to find common ground fast. \nTopics \n\nIntegrating objections\nDrama triangle – and how to facilitate when things are difficult\ndelegating work\, taking shortcuts\, special selection processes\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\nSchedule (each session)\n\n0:00-0:15\nWelcome & explaining the scenarios of the day\n\n\n\n0:15-0:45\nSmall groups\nScenario 1\n\n\n\n0:45-1:15\nSmall groups\nScenario 2\n\n\n\n1:15-1:45\nSmall groups\nScenario 3\n\n\n\n1:45-2:00\nDebrief and closing\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\nLocal time zones\n\nThis class consists of FIVE weekly 2h-sessions starting on Nov 21\, each on Monday at the same time: Nov 21\, Nov 28\, Dec 5\, Dec 12\, Dec 19. \nThe starting time of the first session in local time zones is: \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\nTrainers\n\nOur classes are taught by SoFA team members and students. \n \nTed Rau\nTed is one of the co-founders of Sociocracy For All and has been teaching and consulting in sociocracy for many years\, in particular around facilitation.

SUMMARY:Sociocracy and money
DESCRIPTION:Topic\n\nIf we make all decisions together\, we also need to make financial decisions together\, for example\, for setting salaries and for budget allocation in our organization. \nHow do we set these? In this class\, we will look at the different options\, the centralized and the decentralized option\, with hybrid solutions. A centralized solution means that there is one policy organization-wide that everyone needs to follow\, e.g. standardized pay scales or ranges. A decentralized approach means that every circle or role can make their own decisions. \nOf course\, there are advantages and disadvantages to each of these approaches – we’ll look at them to help you design a system that is based on shared power and transparency and that works for you!\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\nSchedule\n\n0:00-0:10\nOverview & welcome\n\n\n\n0:10-0:50\nBudgets (centralized/decentralized)\n\n\n\n0:50-1:30\nSalaries (centralized/decentralized)\n\n\n\n1:30-1:45\nUsing the selection process to ease financial decisions\n\n\n\n1:45-2:00\nClosing and reflections\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\nLocal time zones\n\nThis event is one 2h session. \nThe starting time in local time zones is: \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\nTrainers\n\nOur classes are taught by SoFA team members and students.

SUMMARY:Facilitation practice - everything at once! (5 weekly sessions)
DESCRIPTION:Topic\n\nThis is the right class for you if you want to be that weathered facilitator that sees a way forward\, no matter what happens. You want to be the person who brings loving clarity to the group work while actively inviting all voices in. Your vision is that everyone feels safe\, heard\, held\, and empowered in your meetings. \nThis class is geared towards people who have already done our facilitation training (or a comparable experience level) and want to improve their facilitation dramatically. We expect you know how to run picture forming and proposal shaping\, you know how to run a consent process\, and you know how to do a selection process. \nNow it’s time to highlight and master all the stuff in between: when people object and it’s not easy to address their objection\, or if it’s not clear what their objection is. When there are too many options on the table and everyone feels overwhelmed. When you’re under time pressure and you need to find common ground fast. \nTopics \n\nIntegrating objections\nDrama triangle – and how to facilitate when things are difficult\ndelegating work\, taking shortcuts\, special selection processes\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\nSchedule (each session)\n\n0:00-0:15\nWelcome & explaining the scenarios of the day\n\n\n\n0:15-0:45\nSmall groups\nScenario 1\n\n\n\n0:45-1:15\nSmall groups\nScenario 2\n\n\n\n1:15-1:45\nSmall groups\nScenario 3\n\n\n\n1:45-2:00\nDebrief and closing\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\nLocal time zones\n\nThis class consists of FIVE weekly 2h-sessions starting on Sept 8\, each on Thursday at the same time. The starting time of the first session in local time zones is: \n\n\nSept 8\, Sept 15\, Sept 22\, Sept 29\, Oct 6.\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\nTrainers\n\nOur classes are taught by SoFA team members and students. \n \nTed Rau\nTed is one of the co-founders of Sociocracy For All and has been teaching and consulting in sociocracy for many years\, in particular around facilitation.

We ask that when an organization pays for your ticket\, you opt for the professional pricing level of $180.  \n\nScholarships: If your financial situation is keeping you from taking this class\, please send a short paragraph describing your need to events@sociocracyforall.org. You can request 30%\, 60% or 100% off. Note that it’s rare that we give big scholarships to people in countries with high cost of living. Read our social justice statement\n\n\nGroup discounts.

SUMMARY:Nonviolent Communication Introduction (3-sessions)
DESCRIPTION: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\, role-plays in small groups. \nWhat others have said\nJerry’s workshop was so awesome. I loved the framework and the space for vulnerability. It was really useful to work through the framework in small groups and his personal stories were super engaging and informative.” \n“I loved the part about making requests\, because people often assume that others know what their needs are. \nAccess\nAll events will be held on zoom (a video platform).
