New Facilitation for a New World – Community, Connection, Collective Wisdom
SpiralMethod Delivers Every Time, In Less Time.
The most important skill you’ll ever learn.
Whether you’re a leader of teams, a company, executive, or a facilitator, your ability to create a level of connection and trust that can break down walls and foster breakthroughs is the skill that will differentiate you most in this new era of work.
You must learn to build trust and create the conditions for thriving human beings at a systemic level, which is larger than simply creating alignment or fixing problems.
Building teams is a high responsibility and this vital precept applies: first do no harm. Too many people are jumping off the deep end trying to build trust without fully understanding what makes people feel safe and seen by others.
Belonging is fundamental and we must learn how to create the conditions for it, so that we don’t inadvertently cause harm to the people and teams we are trying to support.
Systems change is the only sustainable change.
Systems are designed to produce the results they are getting, and for the most part, our global systems—education, politics, healthcare, the economy and corporations, to name a few—are not designed for or around people. But people are absolutely essential to these systems and many more.
SpiralMethod exists to help people upend the systems they care about most and replace them with something new…something people-centric, alive, connected, and full of possibility. Most of our clients are change-makers who are trying to shift systems on many different levels. They are constantly confronting systemic limitations and barriers and working to overthrow them. We love to help these leaders play big and make big change possible in ways that lead to more life, more joy, and more fulfillment. Save the world or savor the world? Let’s do both.
SpiralMethod creates sustainability for people, organizations and missions.
It is exponentially more sustainable to learn and grow in a group experience than in one-on-one coaching or training, because it directly translates into the experiences we have every day in life and work with others. In a group, there’s a constant up-leveling and evolution that creates real sustainability and thriving.
It was long thought that there was no place for a building community in work. Now, in this new world, a deeply connected community is essential for work to happen in a reliable way. Disconnection breeds disconnected work. Fragmentation leads to surface level interactions where people only partially show up. Connection creates connected work marked by creativity, greater potential, aligned decisions, and better outcomes.
What People Are Saying About SpiralMethod
“If you’re willing to trust in the process and maintain an open heart…the benefits for you, your family, your organization and our broader community are indispensable” – Patrick Smith, Managing Director, Chief Investment Officer, Cook Street Consulting
SpiralMethod is the first instance of our team really getting to know each other. I was going to write that it accelerates that process of getting to know each other, but I’ve worked with some of these guys for up to 13 years, and this was not the type of connection that was ever going to form on its own — especially not with the whole team. And when you’ve got a room full of leaders with knowledge and experience in their areas, who trust each other and communicate well with each other, that’s a difference. Six months in, SpiralMethod has changed our leadership culture. We’re hoping to roll it out to a wider group now, and I don’t see any signs of this being a short term change. – Andrew Cowart Chief Technology Officer / Metova
We formally rolled out SpiralMethod to a group of leaders in February 2022. As both facilitator and participant in the group, I never could have anticipated the impact that SpiralMethod has had on our team. We have learned that vulnerability is a strength, to trust each other, to speak in a more direct manner, to have a natural curiosity in all of our interactions and ask great questions. Our group has many memorable moments throughout the year, but most of us noted that the most memorable part has been the feelings we are left with after a Spiral session: fullness, gratitude, and love for each other. I haven’t ever seen a company with a culture that leaves employees truly understanding each other and even loving each other at an individual level. We couldn’t have gotten to that level of love and understanding without SpiralMethod. – Jenn Wageman, COO, HR, HDS Labs
“The SpiralMethod has taken a random collection of outstanding leaders to new, extraordinary levels of connection, introspection, awareness, and transformation. Our meetings are never stale, predictable, or ordinary. Each month I come away with new insights that are helping me be more self aware, more genuine, and more effective.” David Armitage, Project Canary
A far bigger vision for trust and community. SpiralMethod is like no other process or tool you’ve ever learned. To understand it, we need a new vision for what is possible in teams and communities. Think about what it actually means for a person to truly be seen and heard. When this essential human need is met in community with others, transformational change begins to happen.
“I can finally be myself.”
“What a relief. I don’t have to pretend anymore.”
“(Exhale) I can breathe again.”
“I feel valued.”
When we are seen, we can know one another.
When we know one another, we can trust one another.
When we trust one another, we are free to be ourselves.
When we can be ourselves, we can finally completely be present in our own lives.
Being present creates a holistic, inclusive environment where all people fully show up.
It’s magic.
The magic of being present in work and life.
Work can be astounding when we are fully human with one another, not in a way that is lax, lazy, and full of excuses for why we behave the way we behave.
A person who is fully present can access their own agency in powerful ways, and they are free to show up to make their particular contribution. When they aren’t stifled in a trustless environment or because they’re only half there, it is limited. What we need is people living in their sweet spot, showing up fully, for the maximum benefit of all.
A present person in a trusting environment can:
Notice.
Be present.
Think.
Receive feedback.
Gain perspective.
Stop tolerating.
Start deciding.
Take action.
Enjoy the moment.
Ride the waves of life more fluidly, with less resistance.
Shed the weights and burdens that hold them back.
Humanity needs this. And let’s be honest, you need this and so does your team. We all grapple with the same things and life is so short. There’s more available to us as human beings.
SpiralMethod’s results are transformational.
The most common phrase we hear in the testimonials we receive is: “I am a better person because of these ‘spriling’ experiences.” We love that. Because isn’t that what really matters most?
