The first is a three-week online course in The Work. I call it “The Work 101.” The second is an ongoing program for doing The Work with a partner every day, or every week.
Let’s look at these two programs in more detail.
This course is now a prerequisite for all of my other programs. Even if you are not new to The Work, this course will support you to go deeper in your work. And if you are new to The Work, it will will cover everything you need to know to use this simple, yet powerful tool.
I will be conducting the course by webinar/phone connection. We will have three 90-minute sessions and one 30-minute session over the course of three weeks. There will also be homework partnering and other assignments for you to do.
I will also be providing a number of handouts to support you in doing your work, including how to identify stressful thoughts to work, how to find turnarounds, where to look for examples of turnarounds, and how to facilitate others in The Work.
The first course will start soon. If you want to join The Work 101 first,

The Partner-Pairing Program is another way to do The Work on an ongoing basis. There will be regular webinar/phone connections every week or every day, depending on whether you are in the Weekly Partner-Pairing Program or the Daily Partner-Pairing Program. You call in and get paired with another participant on the call to do The Work.
The Daily Partner-Pairing Program will work through a Judge-Your-Neighbor Worksheet every two weeks, questioning one stressful thought from the worksheet every day. This is just like Steady Pace Inquiry, but in spoken form instead of written form.
The Weekly Partner-Pairing Program will work through a Judge-Your-Neighbor Worksheet every two months, questioning one stressful thought every week. This is the same overall pace as Slow-Cook Inquiry.
The Partner-Pairing Program will start in July. If you are interested, please take the survey as to when is a good time to meet on a regular basis.
As more people participate, we will be able to offer more and more time slots for calling in to do The Work. But for now, we’ll just pick one time per day that works for the most people. Put your vote in for the times that work best for you.
Note: this program has now been combined with the Inquiry Circle ongoing practice group. You will find access to this program here.
Have a great week,
Todd
“Inquiry is more than a technique: It brings to life, from deep within us, an innate aspect of our being. When practiced for a while, inquiry takes on its own life within you. It appears whenever thoughts appear, as their balance and mate.” Byron Katie, Loving What Is
