Yes, there’s a bit of that to it, but I’m more focused teaching some of the design thinking methodology, and problem solving skills associated with social innovation, as opposed to examples of it at work (although I am sure these will be peppered throughout).

I too am excited to dig in! Yes, I’ve got juicy details, but I’m stoked to have them organized and thought through in this space, with the community of folks here.  The mountain looks big from down here, but I’ve got my supplies and gear well packed, a map, fellow-travellers, and a couple of awesome guides.

The pain point my course will solve: professionals who are interested in innovative approaches to GSD (getting sh*t done) at work, but who feel like they can never try out these new approaches, because:

• there’s too much at stake
• there’s not enough time to practice and dig into the techniques
• “I need to be more creative to do that stuff”
• it’s easier to lean on business-as-usual approaches to team building, problem solving, meetings, etc.

At the end of the course folks will have the confidence to use a vast array of innovative tools and techniques for Working Together to GSD because:

• they’ve learned how to channel creativity into working together innovatively
• they’ve practiced with a community of fellow-students and been coached towards excellence through simulations/real world applications
• they’ve had fun throughout the process

This is just a start, but I’m excited to build on this s’more (campfire pun).

Thanks Lisa! Yes I’m looking forward to this. I look forward to sharing my progress and learning from everyone. Your work looks great.  Have you heard of David Whyte’s book “The Three Marriages”?  Very up your alley.

I think coaching folks on their careers and strategizing the job hunt is one of my favourite pastimes… just paying it forward as so many folks gave me time for info interviews when I was trying to make the leap from barista to professional. Keep following your passion! Cheers,

Stefan
