Cohousing-L Mailing List: Free info session on Consent decision-making

[Ted Rau (ted]

Hey there

Decision-making remains one of the tricky issues in communities and the
scariest thing for facilitators.
But the good news is: it can be learned!  (10 years ago, I had no idea how
to do it, and now I can do it in my sleep because I understand the steps
now.)

We offer a free info session on consent decision-making on Sept 26 at 12
Eastern (9 Pacific).
<https://www.sociocracyforall.org/event/free-module-consent-sept2022/>  (If
you can't make that time, check out the other dates
<https://www.sociocracyforall.org/events/category/classes/modules/consent-module-free/>
.)

I'll run this session this time. What will happen during the session:

   - Explaining the concept of consent vs. objection
   - What if someone *doesn't* consent?
   - What are the steps in a consent decision?
   - *Breakouts: try it out! *

The session takes about 45 min. Stay on for questions if you want.

For people who want to dive deeper, there's a (paid) 3h-session two weeks
later on Oct 10
<https://www.sociocracyforall.org/events/category/classes/modules/consent-module-full/>
that
takes it from there and offers more hands-on practice on what to do with
objections and how to speed up decision-making.

P.S.
If you're curious about the *difference* between consent in sociocracy and
whole-group consensus, read here: *The Difference Between Whole-Group
Consensus and Dynamic Governance/Sociocracy
