Radical Collaboration Trainer Certification (RCTC) Workshop

About the RCTC Workshop: The Radical Collaboration® Trainer Certification workshop (RCTC) is a highly interactive seven-day course designed to teach individuals how to lead the three-day Radical Collaboration workshop. It is also a helpful follow-up experience for individuals who have taken the three-day Radical Collaboration workshop and want to strengthen their skills.

Training Format: The 7-day Trainer Certification program follows the same content as the 3-day Radical Collaboration workshop, but the format differs. Participants are assigned a module or exercise to prepare to present and then given time to prepare. Participants prepare individually or with a partner, depending upon the exercise/module. At the end of the prep time, a participant or pair of participants is selected to present the module to the class. So, participants prep for the exercise and experience it once again as either a class participant or the trainer. Then, after the presentation, participants critique themselves and get feedback from the class and the trainers.

Participants will have pre-work before the RCTC, e.g., read the 2nd edition of the Radical Collaboration book, watch some videos, and prepare and video record a lecture on interest-based negotiations. Detailed instructions for this pre-work will be sent at least six weeks before the workshop or as soon as a participant registers if it is less than six weeks.

Upon completion of the RCTC workshop, participants will be eligible to purchase Radical Collaboration materials and deliver the three-day Radical Collaboration workshop.
