session of each module, once every four weeks. The 90-minute program sessions involve presentation,
discussion, exercises, and Q&A. Participate live in sessions by telephone, listen live on the internet,

President of Sagience, LLC and by guest presenters who are recognized experts..
Resource Library

Point slides and an annotated bibliography for each session, as well as
assessments, articles, and book chapters. The Library also contains a series

books and other sources) and Sagience Research Reviews (proprietary
research summaries about critical topics).
Application Groups
Participate in a small group of peers that meets every four weeks for 60
minutes throughout the Foundations Program. Discuss program topics in
more depth, share resources and experiences, and get support for changes
that you want to make. Each group has a skilled facilitator to help
participants deepen their understanding of the program material and develop
practical strategies for taking action.
.
Foundations Application Groups meet at a variety of times. A list of groups
and their meeting times will be emailed to participants following registration.
Special Sessions and Special Interest Groups
The Sagience program is designed to be a live and engaged learning
community. To enhance learning and customize the program to your
interests, we will offer Special Sessions (one-time presentations by an
expert) and Special Interest Groups (facilitated, multi-session discussion
groups). The topics for these events will be based on interests expressed
by participants.
Examples of Special Sessions from a past program include a session on a
leading-edge assessment of complexity of mind in leaders and a session focused on case examples of the use of SPECT brain scans. Examples of
Special Interest Groups from a past program include a group focused on
implementing the UltraSimple Diet (M. Hyman, 2007) and a group
focused on using Sagience program material in coaching practice.
