Being Present
Presence is the foundation of working into right relationship. What does it take to show up for your team? We’ll practice this together.

Listening Fully and Communicating Directly
These interrelated skills show up everywhere, which is why they weave throughout the training course. Our training will help you build skills and get feedback from peers before going back to your own workplace.

Collaborating to Create
Collaboration is another core practice of the Being Human management approach. Our interactive training environment allows you to work with peers to build the right tools and strategies for different work environments.

Together, we’ll create an engaging (and fun) learning environment where you will build skills your team will notice and appreciate.

In between trainings, you’ll practice what you are learning each week:

With your team
You’ll test and try out new skills and strategies. Back in class the following week, you’ll learn from and build on one another’s successes and mishaps.

With a rotating small group from the cohort
You’ll connect for weekly practice sessions focusing on different tools.
