3VQ Trainer Certification

Become A 3 Vital Questions Certified Trainer

The 3 Vital Questions provided a simple way to start a nuanced conversation about how we can all be empowered to succeed at the important work we do here at Children’s Hospital Colorado. The skills we developed in the program enabled us to bring heart to what we do, while also ensuring we execute on our long-term vision.”

Ryan Simmons, Director of Talent Developments for Childrens Colorado

Do You Feel Called to Transform Workplace Drama?

If you have read The Power of TED* (*The Empowerment Dynamic), then you already know how life-changing this work can be for yourself and for those you coach, train, or work with. The 3 Vital Questions build upon and expand these frameworks by asking three questions that are targeted to help you move directly into the work creating a culture of empowerment for teams and individuals in actionable and accessible ways.

Becoming a Certified 3 Vital Questions® (3VQ) Trainer will prepare you to serve your clients and customers—whether internal or external—in learning the 3VQs and applying them in their work and lives. You will be certified to take the 3VQs into the classroom, meeting room, and in working with individuals, teams, and organizations.

The people you serve will be empowered to focus on desired outcomes rather than problems and avoid getting caught in the Dreaded Drama Triangle (DDT) that so often sabotages our success in the workplace and in our lives. You will support their development in adopting a Creator Orientation, enhance their capabilities as Creator, Challenger, and Coach to apply The Empowerment Dynamic, and to plan for, and take, the Baby Step actions that serve their creating and achieving results.

The 3VQ training course provided me with an opportunity to deepen my understanding of key topics and concepts, and collaboratively learn and grow with others in a psychologically safe environment.  The experience was thoughtfully designed and well facilitated – the opportunity to reinforce self-paced virtual learning with instructor led sessions and group discussions really reinforced my learning.”   

Brian Cartinella, NVA; Master Coach and Facilitator

I found it to be very similar in feel to a classroom experience. After a few minutes the virtual quality of the experience faded into the background and we were left with the people, the content and together we created a great experience.”

  • Facilitated by David Emerald

    Currently conducted virtually, via Zoom, this intensive certification is designed to be highly interactive and experiential and is structured around 4-person learning pods where you will form lasting bonds. There is a balance between learning in the larger group (maximum 12 participants per cohort) and hands-on teaching and practice that takes place within your smaller “pod family.”

    The process unfolds over about 3 weeks and includes the following sessions (“all-in” participation in all meetings is required):

    • Preparation Session (2 hours)
    • Core Sessions (Monday thru Friday; 7:00 AM – 12:00 PM Pacific Time)
    • Closure Session (2 hours)
  • The certification course is based on a 2-day “deeper dive” workshop developed and honed over many years by David and Donna. While certified trainers are not expected to always facilitate the entire 2-day workshop, you will be equipped with the following:

    3VQ Facilitator Materials:

    • Facilitator Manual with section-by-section presentation notes and suggestions;
    • PowerPoint slides; and
    • “Catchphrase” card deck.

    3VQ Workshop Participant Materials:

    • Participant Guidebook;
    • Learning Aid Cards (2 formats);

I love that there is an amazing amount of material that I can now share with others, which is so profound to me. Being able to connect with the people who created this program, to connect with their heart and to the heart of this amazing community of people who deliver this work to the world is even more important to me. Knowing that there’s an ongoing support structure that we can tap into afterward, that we can continue to connect with month after month, while delivering this work, is priceless.”
