HumanityWorks® Online Program provides skills and tools to help people navigate the complex relationships that make us human beings. Complexities that often create roadblocks that make it difficult to get important work done. This program provides a foundation for how to BE with others in your organization in a delivery mechanism that is flexible, scalable, and affordable.
It is a companion piece to the book, Humanity Works Better, Five Practices to Lead with Awareness, Choice and the Courage to Change. Participants dive into four key mindsets, learn our super-pack of skills to be a good human, and apply each of our Five Practices to their own experiences. It is not necessary to have read the book to make meaning of the program content.
How The Program works:
The HumanityWorks® Online Program is an exploration of how to deepen connection between the humans in your organization so together they can achieve more.
This is a blended-learning online program. The blended learning design has two parts: the first part allows for independent, asynchronous reflection and learning, and the second part offers facilitated integration with a cohort to deepen insights with others in an interactive, shared setting.
The value of interactive group sessions with a cohort is that deep connection and understanding of one another forms. The outcome is better humans working better together. The client and/or the Program Coordinator will determine the makeup of a cohort.
Each cohort completes the Program together. An Internal Program Coordinator and Group Orchestrator help organize and guide the learning process.
The Program can be completed in 4 months; a more leisurely pace is 6 months. Courses have 3-5 lessons each which take ~15-30 minutes to complete. Additionally, there are six 45-minute group integration sessions. Your Group Orchestrator or Internal Program Coordinator will set and communicate completion dates.
Participants are exposed to:
Course One: Introduction
Four lessons and Group Integration (2 weeks)
Course Two: Fundamentals
Five lessons and Conclusion (4 weeks)
Course Three: Mindsets
Four lessons and Group Integration (4 weeks)
Course Four: HW Model
Six lessons, each with a Group Integration session (5-6 weeks)
Course Five: Conclusion
(20 minutes)
The size of a cohort and/or the number of cohorts running at the same time are determined by the number of subscriptions purchased.
How a Subscription Works:
Subscriptions are purchased by the seat.
The number of seats purchased are determined by the size of a cohort, e.g. 8 seats = 1 cohort.
Purchase price for each seat is $1800.
We offer a 25% discount for organizations that are a registered 501C(3) and schools. (Discounted rate is a total of $1350). e.g., 8 seats @ $1800 = $14,400 or 8 seats @ $1,350 = $10,800
Each seat is valid for 12 consecutive months from account activation.
Account activation occurs when cohort participants have been given access to the online platform.
Within a subscription period, each seat can be passed to concurrent users twice.
Depending on Program cadence, each seat could be used by 3 learners, e.g., 8 seats/3 cohorts = up to 24 people over a subscription period. Average investment would be $600 per learner.

How do we get started?
If you want to know more about purchasing seats, please send a note to [email protected] and Deb or Kate will reach out.
Once you have purchased the number of seats that you want, you will receive a launch packet with specific instructions for the Program Coordinator. Included in the launch packet will be:
- A sample draft of communications to learners.
- A draft schedule to be customized with your cadence and completion dates.
- A Group Orchestrator guide.
- A link to our downloadable, fillable Journal that learners will use.
- FAQs
The HW Administrator will reach out to the Program Coordinator for names and emails of learners, review program cadence and determine timing for launch.
How does a cohort get formed?
Typically, the client and/or the Program Coordinator will determine the makeup of a cohort. Often there is some connection between learners such as they have similar roles, are new to the company, or are members of the same team. Over the duration of the Program, deep connection and understanding of one another forms. The outcome is better humans working better together.
How does the cadence and duration of the Program get determined?
We estimate the program can be completed in about 4 months; a more relaxed pace would be 6 months. You will set your cohort cadence as part of your set up and communicate it to your cohort. Completion of the program requires dedicated pacing and internal coordination. When setting the cadence, it’s important to think about work cycle commitments when considering the time being requested of your cohort.
What if the cohort needs more time to complete their course?
Timing for completion is up to the Program Coordinator. They will work with the HW Administrator on when the Program will close for any given cohort. Keep in mind the seats occupied by one cohort cannot pass to another one until the Program closes.
What if someone in a seat leaves? Can a new person be put in their place?
We do not recommend transitioning new people into an established cohort. Adding people into an established cohort can disrupt trust and the sense of safety that is forming. That being said, if the Program Coordinator determines it’s best to replace or add a learner to an existing cohort, they would contact the HW Administrator. The Program Coordinator is responsible for all internal communications to the cohort about its members.
What if the Program Coordinator leaves?
This is an internal role and will need to be replaced for the Program to operate effectively and successfully. Please notify the HW Administrator of any changes to this role.
What is required of a Group Orchestrator?
The main requirement of a Group Orchestrator is that they love to support the growth and evolution of others. The role can be filled in a number of ways. It can be a member of the HR/People/L&D team, a team lead, or any member of the cohort.
How much time is required of a Group Orchestrator?
The time commitment is about 6-hours per cohort. The responsibility is to lead group integration discussions and activities over the duration of the cohort.
How does a Group Orchestrator know what to do?
An extensive Group Orchestrator Guide has been prepared by HW. Instructions are provided for each group integration session, including group instructions and discussion questions. It is helpful for the Group Orchestrator to complete the Program once.
What if the Group Orchestrator leaves or there is no good option?
A new Group Orchestrator should be identified before the next group integration session. The Program Coordinator should communicate to the cohort about any changes to the Group Orchestrator. HW can provide a Group Orchestrator; additional fees apply.
How do seats change for new learners?
About 45-days before the planned completion of a cohort, the HW Administrator will contact the Program Coordinator to review progress of the current cohort and confirm transition of seats. The Program Coordinator will provide specific dates for the closure of one program and the launch of the next cohort, including learner emails.
What if we need more seats?
That is an easy problem to solve! The Program Coordinator just needs to contact the HW Administrator who can help work through the logistics.
What if we don’t need all of our seats – can I get a refund?
The contracted subscription period is for 12 consecutive months. We are not able to issue refunds for unused seats.
Who do we contact if we have technical issues?
Please notify the HW Administrator with any technical issues. That person can help triage the issue.
How do I renew?
We will reach out to the Program Coordinator about 60-days before your subscriptions expire to discuss next best steps.
Can our subscription be extended month-to-month?
No, subscriptions are for twelve consecutive months.
How can we monitor the efficacy of the Program?
HW has developed a pre-post pulse survey that we can administer to the cohort. Results are shared with the Program Coordinator. The HW Administrator can also provide progress status reports to the Program Coordinator within 3-business days of receiving the request.
