Training Details
The Power Of Your Word is a self-guided training program developed by Rockwood co-founder Robert Gass, and specifically designed to help you enhance your skills around accountability, allowing you to develop a practice of personal integrity and empowerment and build trust with the people in your life.
Through this course, you’ll practice and hone your skills, including:
How and when to say “no”
What to do when working in teams with cultures of low accountability or unwholesome work environments
Making sober, realistic time/energy estimates
How to better track your commitments
Keeping promises to yourself and to family, friends, and coworkers
What to do when you can’t keep a commitment
What Is A Self-Guided Training?
Rockwood’s self-guided trainings are a unique way to delve into individual leadership practices. Instead of attending a training on a set day and time, you’ll receive daily emails and text reminders that will allow you to reflect on that day’s theme at your own pace and on your own time. Maybe you review the practice first thing in the morning, or look at it before bed. Maybe you read the email over lunch or while waiting to pick up your child at school. Wherever you decide to connect with the practice, you’re in charge of when you engage with it and how much time you put into it.
If you prefer more interpersonal connection, consider signing up to be matched with a learning partner. Every week, you and your learning partner will meet for 20 minutes to talk through that week’s topics and share your learnings with each other. You’ll also have the option to engage with others going through the training via an online community where you can post questions, share thoughts, and see how others are putting this practice into action in their own lives.
This program includes:
Daily Email Practices
27 different practices, emailed to you daily, that will develop your capacity for accountability
Self-Assessment
Pre- and post-training self-assessment to track your growth
Learning Partners
Optional opportunity to take the journey with a learning partner

Naomi (she/her) has been working alongside, inside, and up against the non-profit movement ecosystem for 24 years.

Her practices around facilitation, coaching, and design can be summed up by a simple philosophy: She believes each moment is a sacred opportunity for healing and deserving of her best.
