3 Vital Questions: Applying the Power of TED*® to Work and Life

Create space for what’s most important

At Blue Borage, we equip you with the tools to break free from drama, embrace empowerment, and create meaningful change – for yourself and those around you.

Change happens when people make shifts in who and how they are as Author of their stories, as Actor in stories with others, as Agent in the narratives around them, and as Activist for better narratives. – David B Drake

Discover how to drastically transform your everyday life and workplace drama into resourceful, resilient, and innovative relationships.

The 3 Vital Questions course, with live facilitated discussions, will guide you to make the shift from reactive responses to empowering choices, both at work and in your personal life. Whether you’re a professional leader, educator, advocate, or anyone looking to cultivate more conscious, creative relationships, this course provides the framework and tools to create meaningful change.

There is Power in the Live Facilitated Discussions

While the 3 Vital Questions® course can be taken online, the combination of self-paced learning with live, facilitated discussions is where the deepest transformation happens. Research shows that participants are far more likely to complete the course when paired with scheduled live sessions, resulting in higher course completion rates, more profound learning, and sustained change.

Each live, one-hour or 90-minute facilitated session is designed to reinforce key learning points from the online modules. Sessions include topics for discussion, application of the framework, and interactive dialogue based on a carefully crafted curriculum. Participants are encouraged to reflect, observe patterns in their behaviours, and engage in self-coaching exercises between sessions—creating powerful “aha” moments during the live discussions.

The flexibility of scheduling weekly or fortnightly sessions allows participants the time to complete the short eCourse units and related homework, fostering richer dialogue when the group reconvenes.

What our clients say: “From the moment our team opened the 3VQ book until we wrapped up the last meeting together, the course and facilitators provided us with a trusted and unwavering framework. We safely and open-heartedly dove ‘all in’ to the material. – Angi Hunter, CEO

This combination of self-paced eLearning and live facilitated sessions creates a lasting impact.

As one team shared: “The 3VQ course brought TED* alive for the company. By having a paced discussion with workbook assignments, it allowed the team to process and digest the material. We have already generated a significant ROI on our time and money invested in the program. — Alex Vorobieff, CEO.
