Sociocracy 3.0 is a way to collaborate that is self-correcting and highly effective. It incorporates plural perspectives in a beautiful way. I strongly believe it makes the world, our homes and our organizations a better place to live and work in. I have never been to a training that was so connecting, enlightening and enriching. Lili and James showed us that we really can be the ones we are waiting for.

People underestimate just how hard it is to unbundle and distill concepts like this. The modularity plus the fact that it is available in the public domain is a gift!

I have been on many workshops and trainings during my life and treasure some of them. This is definitely one of them. James and Lili are great facilitators and create a safe, open and creative environment. I learned not only about S3, but also about how to be more whole, authentic and therefore a better person and leader.
