​When you participate in a live, interactive workshop at Basileia, the workshop is embedded in a larger process to ensure impact in the workplace.

We have found that the likelihood of impact is much higher when the participant
(a) prepares for the session beforehand,
(b) applies and practices the learnings from the session afterward, and
​(c) has an opportunity for feedback and accountability around their learning:

PREPARE

Before each workshop session, participants are asked to access preparatory materials on a private web page, including handouts to download, preparatory activities, reading assignments, videos, etc. Typically, this preparation will take about 20-30 minutes. By engaging in the core concepts beforehand, participants can engage more interactively during the session itself.

APPLY

After each session, participants are asked to apply the key concepts from the session to their own workplace environment using specific activity worksheets as guidance.

PRACTICE

Each participant is invited to attend a monthly facilitated group practice session where they can ask for support on their individual challenges, ask questions, do role plays, etc. to support their learning.

FEEDBACK and MUTUAL ACCOUNTABILITY

Each participant is paired with another participant who will be their “Accountability Buddy” with whom they are asked to meet weekly for about 15-20 minutes so that they can give feedback and support to each other regarding the completed activity worksheets, reviewing key concepts and applying the learnings in the workplace.

As a means of fostering self- and mutual accountability, each participant is asked to email their completed activity worksheet to the facilitator and to their Accountability Buddy at least 24 hours before the next session begins. Additionally, participation in the sessions and in accountability buddy meetings is tracked and displayed on the private web page.

LEARNING SUPPORT AFTER THE WORKSHOP

After the workshop, participants have these added resources to support their continued learning and application of the learning content:

• Continued participation in Monthly Practice Sessions
• Continued access to all workshop materials and recordings on the private web page.
• Option to retake all or a portion of the workshop at no additional for a period of 12 months 
• One-on-one coaching sessions can provide tailored feedback and learning support. You can see detailed information about our leadership coaching support here: Leadership Coaching

A Conscious Leader's most potent skill is the ability to bring full attention and presence to people and to qualities that matter. At the team or organizational level, that means enlivening the intrinsic motivators such as Shared Purpose, Core Values and Direction. At the human level, it means the ability to fully "see" and "hear" the people with whom we work. In short, respect for their humanity.

This course builds on the skills from Needs-Based Communication (NVC) Core Concepts, and applies them in the day-to-day, moment-to-moment interactions that we have with the people on our team or in our organization. These are the moments that take a few seconds to a few minutes ... as we walk down the hall, in the few minutes before the meeting begins, or as we work side-by-side with someone on our team.

By consciously showing up in these brief but frequent moments throughout the day, the Conscious Leader activates and builds an environment of trust and belonging.
