3Practice Circle Referee Training
Most people have high aspirations for getting along with each other. But, when disagreements arise, it turns out very few of us have sustainable practices for handling differences — even with people we really care about.
3Practice Circles gamify listening as a team sport, and that helps people engage each other with curiosity instead of fear.
3Practice Circle Referees make sure those encounters are safe and fair.
The 3 Practices are
I’ll be unusually interested in others
I’ll stay in the room with difference
I’ll stop comparing my best with your worst
3Practice Circles invite ideological opposites, political competitors, and folks who just don’t understand each other to explore differences and disputes with no obligation to agree beyond their willingness to play by a simple set of 3Practice Circle rules while they’re together.
We help 3Practice Circle Referees create spaces in their communities, institutions, and organizations that prepare people for real-world encounters where there are no referees and there are no rules.
3Q Check-in Manager Training
Most managers — in businesses, institutions, and organizations — are accidental managers. They have responsibility for directing , coordinating, supporting, and assessing the work of others because they were good at doing something.
But doing and managing are not the same.
We can’t solve that dilemma in organizational leadership. What we can do is offer a simple, effective tool to help managers — especially the ones who aren’t naturals — lead regular check-ins with the people who report to them.
The tool is called 3Q Check-ins and we (modestly) think it delivers the best one-to-one check-ins on planet earth.
3Q stands for 3 Questions
• How are you?
• How are we?
• How can I help?
3Q Check-in Training shows managers — even the accidental kind — how they can leverage those simple questions in a way that reliably (1)builds trust, (2) contributes to the long term good of their direct reports, and (3) never loses sight of what’s good for the organization.
Humane Resources is the umbrella for training and supporting 3Practice Circle Referees and 3Q Check-in Managers.
Listenocracy helps us fund that training to benefit underfunded community leaders, institutions, and organizations.
