What is Working Out Loud (WOL)?
Social learning methods to build new skills, networks, and mindsets
Working Out Loud® methods give employees structure, shared accountability, and support to develop the professional skills and connections they want and need. Employees tap into a sense of self-determination and confidence as they develop their abilities and make progress toward a goal they choose. Week after week, they become more engaged and collaborative as they build mutually beneficial relationships based on trust and relatedness. They practice how to make work better for themselves and for the people around them.
WOL® social learning combines skill-building with relationship-building,
leading to motivated employees and a more connected workplace.
How WOL® methods work
Goal-oriented skills development over time, together with colleagues. All of our methods share the same four elements.

Having the employee choose their own goal sparks intrinsic motivation, so they want to actively engage, learn, and make progress.A structured curriculum
Dozens of exercises help each participant take steps toward their goal and develop the skills they need to thrive in the workplace.Practice over time

How to get started
Contact us for an initial consultation to discuss company goals and how WOL can help you accomplish them.
We’ll then lead a kickoff event in your company and organise the WOL Circles (peer groups) to get started.
WOL Circles will meet independently, using a co-branded online Workbook with a structured curriculum.
We’ll lead the interactive touchpoints with all participants, including a closing event, and offer regular guidance via email or MS Teams.
