Description

Are these questions familiar?

  • “What do I do when the Lead Link tells me to reschedule a meeting?”
  • “How do I hold an election?”
  • “Should I record reaction rounds?”

Secretary Fundamentals is an online course designed to answer them and more. You also get peer learning and expert coaching to help you support other core roles and your circle.

Did you know that the Secretary role is just as important as the Facilitator role? Both roles help meeting participants clarify their needs and engage more efficiently during meetings.

In this course, learn to use Secretary authority to support your circle’s Holacracy practice. You’ll join a cohort of fellow Secretary role-fillers to help you stay on track and engage in peer-learning.
