We have our own in-house people who teach and share communication skills like compassionate communication (NVC) and Byron Katie's The Work. And we also have in-house members who teach facilitation and governance (sociocracy). Some of that teaching/sharing happens in our monthly whole community meetings and some of it happens outside of meetings. We also have a modest line item in our annual budget that can be used to bring trainers in or send our folks out. To me continually moving towards a higher level of communication and governance skills is key to living in an enjoyable community.
