Work Differently: Visionary Organizing for Professional and Organizational Development

Human beings have a non-material need to work and a material need for jobs and organizations. In this four week training for individuals you will develop skills that will enable you to prioritize your non-material needs when meeting your material needs.

In Work Differently, you will name your personal calling, explore how to apply it to your work, and develop plans to meet your non-material work needs and navigate the difficulties that arise within an organization. You will engage with media on history and processes to see how systemic oppression leads us away from our spiritual wisdom, and VOL teacher-facilitators will provide processes for you to become rooted in four of the six components of Visionary Organizing to help you understand what it means to exist and work differently.

With this knowledge you will be empowered to meet your non-material needs by reconnecting to your inner-wisdom, tapping into your specific gifts, and explore how to use them in the world, your job, within organizations, and stand in them when times are difficult. You will also develop a clear sense of some of your personal purposes and be able to identify how to make your organizational/professional work align with it.
