Workshops
Long Form — the Four-Session Series
In this program Stew Friedman or a certified Total Leadership Program Leader guides participants through the exercises of the program and in their use of a peer coaching network to support their progress. This proven program can be delivered in person, virtually, or in an in-person and virtual combination. It includes lectures; a variety of engaging, interactive exercises; and peer-to-peer coaching (P2P) — all supported by our proprietary Web-based platform. Monthly sessions are two hours each, except the fourth, which is three hours. There is P2P coaching among participants in trios throughout the program, and ongoing thereafter.
Composition and posting of the program’s exercises are done by participants on the private and secure TL Web-based platform, enabling sustainable coaching connections and community-building. Our professional staff tracks every participant’s progress and results, while respecting confidentiality and privacy; reports on utilization and impact; and works closely with clients to ensure positive impact for participants via clear performance expectations.
The program progresses through the stages noted on this graphic:
There are four workshop sessions, to be held in person (or, as an option, the middle two sessions can be done virtually) with preparation before each session, and P2P coaching (conducted by participants in trios on their own schedule) between the four sessions. If desired, these P2P coaching sessions can be facilitated by a TL Program Leader.
Here is what a participant’s schedule of events looks like (whole group sessions in green: individual preparation and small-group P2P coaching sessions in blue):
