Virtual Core Concepts
About Virtual Introduction Core Concepts
Virtual Introduction Core Concepts participants are organized in small groups (called Learning Circles) where communication tools are practiced and built upon over the course of the training. These tools provide a safe and supportive environment for participants to share their stories. Participants contribute to the learning environment by being on time and participating with their camera on for the full course without disruptions to their attendance. We understand that most virtual conferences or courses allow for you to drop in and out of the experience. This learning experience is different and we have some guidelines that we ask participants to commit to for the 2 days.
We ask that you commit to being fully present and in a private space removed from distractions from other people, cell phones, meetings, or other commitments. It is important that you arrive on time and plan to participate for the entire 2 days. Arriving late, missing day 1, leaving early, dropping in and out, and turning your camera off is disruptive to the safe environment being built throughout the experience. If you are unable to meet these commitments you may not be allowed to enter or return to the course or could be asked to reschedule for a future Intro to Core Concepts when you are able to be fully present.
This training focuses on building relationships and practicing communication tools in small groups. You must be on your own device and you must be present for both days. If you do not attend day 1, you will not be able to attend day 2 of the training.
More dates coming soon!

Participant Feedback
SCF surveyed participants from previous Introduction to Core Concepts trainings, asking them to use a four-point scale to provide answers to questions where a 1 was a “Strongly Disagree,” and a 4 was a “Strongly Agree.” When asked if they understood how Core Concepts assists with relating to clients/customer-owners, the average response was 3.8 out of a possible 4. When asked if they would be able to do their jobs better as a result of the course, the average response was 3.6. When asked if they believed the tools or practices in Core Concepts would help them with their relationships, the average response was 3.7. And when asked if they were overall satisfied with their Core Concepts experience, the average response was 3.8.
Being able to relate to people through their personal stories made it easier to talk about my own story even though it is hard to talk about. – Introduction to Core Concepts participant
