Teams and Roles within a session of ELL

• Participants in ELL are the people with projects whose main intention is to make a positive impact on the world
• The Source Team provides the social, financial, and inspirational, and intellectual capital in order to launch and operate sessions of Emerging Leader  Labs, Incubators, and Agencies. The Source Team members are also the Jedi / Wisdom council that provide guidance and oversight to the coherence holder and/or facilitators.
• A Support Team is made up of people whose project is the session of Emerging Leader Labs itself. The support Team creates coherence for a comfortable, safe, and loving container for a session of ELL.
• The Facilitation Team makes sure the basic promises of an ELL session are delivered for participants.  They facilitate, or "make easier," the evolution of the people in the session into a whole that can operate together as a <a href="/magic_group">magic group</a>. 
• A Coach Team  provides personal support to participants (and support team?) in achieving their personal growth and project goals. Coach Team members typically have experience coaching prior to serving as an ELL coach, perhaps as professional life coaches or counselors, or other relevant work.
• Coach Team Facilitator holds coherence for the coaching team, builds the coaching team into a magic group, and pays attention to what's needed in that space.
• A Session Coherence Holder declares this shall be! They take the steps necessary to gather the resources needed to make an ELL session happen, primarily the source team and facilitators. On an ongoing basis, when there is a question of fit, of whether an applicant, or a coach participant relationship, anything that seems like there is a current misalignment of an instance with a pattern, the coherence holder navigates the truing up of cohernce through, reframing, recontextualixing, or removing the disruption of coherence.

Key Tools and Structures

• Facilitation Guide Book - Collection of resources for Emerging Leader Labs facilitation - includes the Core Distinctions
• Gameshifting - An immmersive game where the processes and patterns of our social interactions are made visible and translated into game boards and game pieces. This lets us more easily adapt group processes and modes toward ones that fit the needs of the moment to do whatever a group needs to do together.  
• Agreements Grid - grid of agreements of each role to others
• An ELL <a href="/Session_Plan">Session Plan</a>  - A session plan is created and utilized by the Session Coherence Holder as an operating plan which sets the focus, intention, time, and place for the session to operate.
• How to launch an Emerging Leader Lab ** needs lot  of work  - Guide for ELL Session Coherene Holders on how to launch an 8 week session.
• Department of Names Department - A bit of self satire here.  At ELL we are fond of using old words in new ways.  We often stretch and bend definitions in order to articulate key perspectives for our creative process.
