Webinar Description
Working Out Loud (WOL) is a peer coaching program that has spread to more than 50,000 people and hundreds of companies in 67 countries.
Developed as a method to make-work better, WOL Circles are a structured form of peer coaching, meeting independently for one hour/week for 12 weeks. Circle members learn through deliberate practice over time. By the end, each person has built a bigger network, cultivated new skills, and increased their confidence to contribute more.
In this interactive webinar, Mara will introduce this increasingly popular method, and we’ll try one of the exercises from the WOL Circles Program.
Most people think far too narrowly about what they have to offer. In this exercise we’ll help you understand how a broad set of things you may take for granted, can serve as the basis for meaningful connections with others, which in turn increase collaboration, connection, and contributions across a network.
