Practice Groups
I am preparing to run another Practice Group. I need to find out who wants to practice what. So I made a form for you to tell me which courses you want to Practice.
A Practice Group is when a small group of us (10-20 people) get together weekly for 2 hours, four times plus a kickoff. I run exercises with the whole group, and we have discussion about the ideas in the exercises.
Each Practice Group is paired with ONE of my six courses. So, which one would you like to practice next? (click this form link)
- Listening Deeply
- Part 1: Qualitative Data Synthesis (Concepts & Summaries)
- Part 2: Qualitative Data Synthesis (Cultivate Emergent Patterns)
- Thinking Styles as Archetypes
- Framing Your Study
- Using Mental Model Skylines (aka Oppmaps)
How Can I Join a Practice Group?
Right now, nothing is scheduled yet. But here is a little background. You can join a Practice Group under any of these these conditions:
- you're already partway through the course
- you sign up for the course to follow it concurrent with the practice
- you've taken the whole course anytime in the past
- if the course is Listening Deeply, you can read the book instead
The second condition above is most common. We assume this is your intent, and automatically bundle the Course with the Practice Group for a 10% discount. But the first and the third conditions exist too, so we have a link for you to sign up for the Practice Group itself. (We check that you took or are taking the course.)

I always offer four price levels:
- Regular (when someone is reimbursing you)
- University, Union, Government (25% off when one of these pays your way)
- Out-of-Pocket (50% off is no one will ever pay your cost, like if you work for yourself, you are laid off, or you are a student)
- Extreme Currency Exchange (90% off if you live and earn in a currency that does not have much purchasing power in US dollars, for example India, Brazil, Chile, Romania, Malaysia)
What is a Practice Group?
A practice group is time with Indi and our peers. It has benefits to you and also for me:
It allows me to see what you might be struggling with, and help clarify things.
It allows me to learn from you all, because we tell stories! ??
Practicing together helps me understand your skill level, so that, when you complete all six Courses + Practice Groups, I can give you Certification in Problem Space Research!!! ??
