SUMMARY:Group coaching: What’s the next step for me/us and sociocracy?
DESCRIPTION:Are you unsure how to go about learning more about sociocracy? How about moving forward in your organization? What are the options for getting deeper\, getting practice\, motivating your team to learn or use more sociocracy? Do you want someone to strategize with you?  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis webinar is a 60min session where we will have 3 people ready to answer your questions. We will be in 3 rooms on 3 topic areas:  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n   Room 1 \n\n\n\n Individual learning – How can I learn more? How can I become a better facilitator or practitioner of sociocracy?\n\n\n\nThis makes the most sense if you already have some exposure to sociocracy (not complete beginners). \n\n\n\nWith Ted Rau \n\n\n\n\n\n   Room 2 \n\n\n\nGroup learning – How can my team get trained? What are easy ways to get my team on board? \n\n\n\nThis makes sense if you have a group that is wanting to learn with you. \n\n\n\nWith Zujeil Flores \n\n\n\n\n\n   Room 3 \n\n\n\nOrganizational implementation   – How can I prepare an implementation in my organization? Who should I talk to? How should I go about it?  \n\n\n\nThis makes sense if you know about sociocracy and you’re in an organization that isn’t sociocratic but could be.  \n\n\n\nWith Jerry Koch-Gonzalez \n\n\n\n\n\n\nYou will be able to submit your questions so come prepared! You will be able to switch between groups but it might be best to decide which group to attend. All breakouts will be recorded and you will receive a summary after the webinar.  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent date and time\n\n\n\nThis webinar will meet on Tuesday\, June 10 at 10-11am EDT / 7-8pm PT \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n$0 – $10 – This webinar is free\, however you may choose to make a donation to help us carry our mission forward. \n\n\n\n\nGet your ticket

SUMMARY:Living Into Our Values
DESCRIPTION:A common story: mission-driven organizations that write beautiful words on their website. But under the hood and behind closed doors\, it’s the same old same old power dynamics. It’s disheartening to see how many organizations struggle to be the organization they want to be – despite best intentions. The missing link is often the lack of a governance system that creates conditions where a positive culture can evolve and thrive.  \n\n\n\n\nInstead of unacknowledged power-over or apathy\, find clarity. \n\n\n\nInstead of pretty words and analysis paralysis\, find action. \n\n\n\nInstead of saying “we’re inclusive and we care”\, implement the structures that support it. \n\n\n\n\nMany of those aspects can be addressed by the governance system sociocracy. We will show why awareness-based approaches and good intentions alone can’t address a lack of integrity\, and what practices and tools actually work – not for being perfect but closer to who we want to be.  \n\n\n\n\n\nThis webinar is part of our Leading Together with Sociocracy webinar series for non-profits\, small biz\, activists\, and communities.

SUMMARY:Founder Dynamics - Free
DESCRIPTION:Some founders have a really hard time sharing power. Being a founder requires a certain skill set of being a passionate generalist who can get things done – a slightly different skill set than building a sustainable organization to carry the mission.  \n\n\n\nAs these groups around a founder grow into organizations\, there is a classic trap that evolves:  \n\n\n\nFounders feel very responsible because\, of course!\, they care about the organization\, they often hold the intellectual property or expertise\, as well as relationships. Others want to contribute to the mission but soon notice that all paths in the organization seem to lead back to the founder. For everyone else in the organization (self-starters or just people who want to do their work well)\, that can be a maddening experience.  \n\n\n\nThey might even be aware of the disproportionate power they hold.  \n\n\n\nThose patterns are hard to break – frustrating everyone else and depriving the organization of broader input.  \n\n\n\nFor founders\, it can be dramatic – being a bottleneck is not healthy and can easily lead to burnout.  \n\n\n\nThis free webinar will show how to get out of the trap – if people are ready.  \n\n\n\n\nWe will talk about people end up in the trap\n\n\n\nUnderstandable and well-intentioned actions that just tighten the trap.\n\n\n\nWhat works?\n\n\n\nNext steps you can take as a founder or member\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nThis webinar is part of our Leading Together with Sociocracy webinar series for non-profits\, small biz\, activists\, and communities.

SUMMARY:Facilitation practice (6x2h)
DESCRIPTION:A 2 x 6h class full of practice opportunities! \n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this practice class\n\n\n\nThis 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.  \n\n\n\nEveryone gets to facilitate several times!  \n\n\n\nLevel\n\n\n\nLearning and practicing. For people who have had an overview of sociocracy and are ready to dive into practice in a safe environment.  \n\n\n\nUnsure of what your level is? Try our Sociocracy Level Quiz. This event is geared toward people with an assessment score of 20+. \n\n\n\nTopics\n\n\n\nAddress the most common pitfalls of sociocratic meetings head-on in realistic role plays. \n\n\n\n\nA tried and tested format: \n\nmini lecture at the beginning\n\n\n\nscenarios – everyone gets a turn facilitating for embodied learning\n\n\n\nreflection in plenary\n\n\n\n\n\nWe will practice integrating objections with focus on the steps of integrating\, and then on different ways of integrating objections; \n\n\n\nWe will look at better agendas and how to facilitate different kinds of agenda items effectively\, and what to do when we slide off track or don’t know what to talk about next. \n\n\n\nWhat if feelings get in the way? Address them or ignore them and focus on the meeting? Who decides what? \n\n\n\nWhat kinds of muddy situations are there? What if\, for example\, a visitor objects\, or someone questions basic assumptions while we’re trying to decide something? \n\n\n\n\nSchedule (6 sessions)\n\n\n\n0:00-0:25Welcome and teaching of the day\, intro scenarios0:25-1:403×25 min of role play in groups of 3-4 people; topic will go with the theme of the session1:40-2:00Reflections and learnings with trainer responses\n\n\n\nWhat others say\n\n\n\nBelieve on-line learning isn’t valuable?
