WELCOME TO WORK THAT WORKS FOR YOU

Let’s Get Oriented.

Welcome to GroundWork—congratulations on taking the steps toward work that works for you!!

The GroundWork Program is designed to help you build awareness what you need for human–work alignment and offers the support you need to integrate it into your work experience.

This homepage has everything you’ll need to access the GroundWork content, group sessions, and resources. We suggest bookmarking it for easy access and revisiting it frequently.

  • GroundWork is built from five “Blocks” or modules of themed exercises and introspections. Each exercise is designed to guide your understanding of what work works for you.

    Each Block is accessible using the program interface below. Each Block includes an introduction and video walkthrough, guidance on how to complete the exercises in the workbook, and additional resources to support further exploration of each topic.

  • While GroundWork is a very personal experience, we’ve designed it to be integrated into community through the GroundWork sessions.

    You’ll be part of a seasonal cohort that will meet every other week (or weekly for the Venture Track). Sessions will be 1.5-2 hours long and will include guided discussion about the discoveries in each Block.

    We invite you to join the live sessions to get the most out of the experience. If you cannot make the live session, we will share the recording for you to review at another time.

  • We’ve designed most of the GroundWork exercises to be completed within a single sitting. This means each Block can be completed within a week (for an averagely busy person).

    We suggest creating a schedule for yourself that fits your life and sticking to it. Consistency is key! We recommend the following:

    Complete the Block exercises prior to your 1:1 mentor session. It can be helpful to keep a day or two between exercises. 

    Wait at least a day between the last exercise or session and the Blueprint. This will allow for a clear Blueprint result.

    Try to complete the entire program within the 12 weeks to ensure adequate support in the process.

    You'll have access to the program for an entire year, revisit the exercises as you need to.

    Annual Blueprint "refreshes" can be completed each year to support continued human–work alignment.  

  • GroundWork is supported by other members of the GroundWork community and all Human | Work Mentors.

    If you need support in the program, you can:

    • Ask questions, get feedback, or share your results in the GroundWork Chat.

    • Schedule a guided 1:1 Mentoring session with a Human | Work Mentor on any of the GroundWork Blocks or Blueprint. 

    • Connect with Charlie via her office hours for quick questions, technical issues, or a chance to chat about any of the GroundWork content.

    • If your question or concern is urgent, or if you are having technical difficulties with the content, you may email charlie@humanworkproject.com.

The Schedule

GroundWork includes a series of mentor–facilitated cohort discussion sessions to integrate the work of each Block. Each session is hosted virtually on Zoom and will last 1.5 to 2 hours with a short break. Sessions will be recorded and shared with the cohort for post session review and to accommodate any participants who were unable to attend the session.

We invite you to add each session to your calendar. Click here to subscribe to our Google Calendar. We will send out a reminder email prior to each session with the link to Zoom.
