Course Description

In this January New Year program, you’ll get 14 hours of LIVE* (via Zoom) training to learn the basics of the Conscious Contracts process and walk away having created your own personal guiding documents to help you throughout the upcoming year!

The Conscious Contracts trademarked process shifts the starting point to help us build fulfilling relationships with others. Whereas most contract negotiations usually start with the terms of an agreement (who’s going to do what? how much? when? etc.), we begin with values. By starting with what’s important to you, not the terms, we open up room for co-creation and begin to create trust between the parties. We’ve re-designed this basics course so you get to experience what it’s like to create the underlying guiding documents for yourself, from your own values!

Within the Conscious Contracts process, and within this program, you’ll learn how to use #plainlanguage, #legaldesign, and #valuesbasednegotiation to draft your own Personal Touchstone – a statement of who you are and what you envision for the world.

When we facilitate the Conscious Contracts process with clients, we guide them in conversations around for example:

• how you deal with conflict, 
• how you best communicate & collaborate, and 
• how you can stay accountable to yourself and each other

That begins part of forming and co-creating your “ACED” (Addressing Change & Engaging Disagreement section: a critical part of an agreement that goes beyond generic good faith statements or mediation clauses. 

During our workshop together, you’ll create the individual pre-cursor to this step, what we call the “Operating Agreement of Me”. We’ll talk about how all these pieces fit together and how you can use what you created to leverage impact in your future agreements.

“When we have done the work to identify who we are and how we best work with others, we are better prepared to help our clients do the same.” Whether you are an entrepreneur, a lawyer, a social worker, a coach, or just someone who wants structured support for self-reflection, we welcome you to join us!

What the experience will be like:

We will have up to four Conscious Contracts® Practitioners to help hold the space, allowing us to engage in meaningful breakout sessions throughout the course, and for you to dive deeper and connect with your iner truth and others’. 

As we go through the process of creating our Personal Touchstones & Operating Agreements of Me, you’ll have the chance to share them with each other to get insight and ideas. We’ll select 3-5 to do a live review during the course, giving you even more insight and feedback for how to craft a meaningful document within the Conscious Contracts process. 

Our meeting schedule of twice a week on Mondays & Thursdays, allows consistency for you to build momentum and make genuine progress in your personal statements, while giving space between live calls for reflection & integration.

If you find yourself wanting more in-depth feedback & coaching, either during or after our 7 sessions together, you can add on one-on-one coaching sessions at our sliding scale rates for a deeper dive.
