C3 Program Overview

Through teaching videos, self-reflection exercises, taking new actions at work, and small, diverse group discussions, participants will gain a deeper understanding of their purpose, feel a sense of belonging with their diverse peers and know themselves as capable of taking new purpose-aligned actions at work. Each module includes

• a 5-minute teaching video
• a purpose discovery exercise
• a purpose activation exercise
• a 1-hour live group discussion

Groups

Before the program begins, employees take a group matching survey and are sorted into groups of 4 that are optimized for diversity to empower them to build empathy and trust with diverse peers. 

This group functions as a team, ensuring participants cannot progress in the program unless each person completes the exercises and participates in the small, diverse group discussions.

Cadence

The program typically is completed in a 10 week cycle, beginning with a live 90-min kick-off session via zoom to enroll participants in the promise of the program, give them an overview of the program and place participants into their groups in breakout rooms for them to get to know each other.

Participants will then complete each of the 5 modules and schedule their group meetings approximately every two weeks.

The program concludes with a live 90-min closing session via zoom to harvest outcomes, share breakthroughs, celebrate completion of C3, and enroll participants in the next step of their learning journey together, e.g., values activation, emotional intelligence, purposeful leadership, communication skills.

Delivery

The content is delivered via the Unity Lab LMS, which also connects the small, diverse learning groups for asynchronous communication, hosts the course community forum, tracks group progress, and serves as asynchronous office hours.
