The second course in the CWB 2020 series is all about applying the science of behavior and learning to improve your work life.

The three books on which this course is based are

This course will teach information and skills related to:

Cognitive Biases

Diagnostic Feedback

In this 9-week course, you will learn a set of skills related to improving your work life and earn 18 Type-2 "Learning" CEUs (12 general, 3 ethics, and 3 supervision). The skills are drawn from the work of Gleb Tsipursky (Never Go With Your Gut), Maria Malott (The Paradox of Organizational Change), and Mark Smutny (THRIVE), and you will learn how to systematically apply the lessons you learn to accomplish your professional goals, in the service of your values, on the path toward your dream career.

UPDATE: Until further notice, our courses and lessons as they were originally designed are on hold. We have pivoted to "Action Circles" during which we will be coming together to share our stories, learn from others, and collaborate to develop actionable solutions to the issues our world faces.
