Working Out Loud is a wildly popular, proven approach for personal and professional transformation that guides you to set goals and build relationships to help you achieve them. Thousands of groups have embraced the Working Out Loud method (now in more than 10 languages) and experienced how it opens them up to new people and new possibilities.
The Working Out Loud approach emphasizes generosity and connection. You learn how to reach and engage people, how to experiment and deal with setbacks, and how to make yourself and your work more visible. Working Out Loud the book walks you through a twelve-week mastery program to put the approach into practice yourself and turn that practice into a sustainable habit. It’s a life-changing practice that has brought the joy of accomplishment and connection to those who have adopted it.
Working Out Loud is a way to build relationships that help you achieve a goal, develop a skill, or explore a new topic. Instead of networking to get something, you invest in relationships by making contributions over time, including your work and experiences that you make visible.
Working Out Loud Circles, the peer support groups, help you experience the benefits for yourself.
When you Work Out Loud, your contributions over time build trust and deepen a sense of relatedness, increasing the chances for cooperation and collaboration. You’re more effective because you have access to more people, knowledge, and opportunities that can help you. You feel better too, because your bigger network of meaningful relationships give you a greater sense of control, competence, and connection.
All of that leads to more motivation for individuals, and to more agility, innovation, and collaboration for an organization.
