What is Working Out Loud (WOL)?

The 5 elements of Working Out Loud

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.

  1. Small peer groups
    Confidential, psychologically safe groups provide support, shared accountability, and human connection.

  2. Your own individual goal
    Having the employee choose their own goal sparks intrinsic motivation, so they want to actively engage, learn, and make progress.

  3. 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.

  4. Practice over time
    Step-by-step practice, week after week, builds sustainable habits and cultivates a new mindset that can help employees achieve any goal.
