Blueprint of WE Collaboration Documents



What is it?
Beyond self awareness, our world now demands Collaborative Awareness; how can we do this fast-paced dance without stepping on each other’s toes? The Blueprint of WE is a new way to build, sustain and transition business and personal relationships with trust and respect. It is a collaboration process used to establish more adaptable personal relationships in a world that changes in increasingly complex ways, making the old ground rules no longer reliable. It gives you the power to Custom Design your life, rather than squeezing into pre-established relationship definitions. You personally write it along with those involved (whether it be 2 or 20,000+ people), preferably at the beginning of the relationship. It captures what draws each individual to the situation, your personal preferences and expectations; and it provides a path back to peace if the need arises. It is often being used to replace or enhance traditional legal contracts.

The 5 Components of the Blueprint of WE

  1. The Story of Us
Share what draws you to these people and this situation.
.
  2. Interaction Styles and Warning Signs
How I work best, what I look like on a good day/bad day, and what I might need that I couldn’t ask for in the moment.
.
  3. Expectations
Core values and non-negotiables, the structure you need to create and sustain this relationship.
.
  4. Questions to Return to Peace
A tool to return to peace if the need arises, makes the difficult times shorter and easier.
.
  5. Short and Long-Term Agreements
How long you’re willing to go before you make peace. An agreement of no outright harm, a willingness to keep an open window if the unimaginable happens.

Important!
Your Blueprint of ME:
The Relationship between You and Your Mind


In order to be powerfully present throughout every aspect of your life, one of the most important relationships to foster is the one you have with yourself. This is the relationship between you and your mind, that little voice inside your head that can spiral you down or keep you engaged and in the zone. Awareness is the first step to creating and maintaining healthy behaviors, and creating your own Blueprint of ME is a dynamic way to work on who you are with yourself, and how you show up with others. Find out more about building the Blueprint of ME to be able to bring the best facets of yourself to your work.

 


The Benefits of Using the Blueprint of WE

  • Foundation of connection and trust
  • Structure for Conversations that Matter - a safe space to say what is most important and meaningful
  • Invitation and support for our “best” selves to flourish in the relationship
  • Space for the conversation regarding actions, values and intentions
  • Perfect Third-Party Mediator to get through the difficult times
  • Process to deepen support for one another on each person’s own terms
  • Strengthen adaptability to constantly evolving situations
  • Collective memory of who we want to be, how we want to interact, and who we want to become

Best Case Scenario
Create a Blueprint of WE at the Beginning of the Relationship
People find that when they create a Document at the beginning of the relationship, several things are set in place to ensure the health of the relationship into the future:

  • Express in writing how you see this most amazing person in front of you and your vision for this relationship

  • Share who you are and what you need so that you’re not stepping on each others toes

  • Give yourself the space not to take each other’s difficult behavior personally — “It's not about me. It’s just how Mary deals with stress.”

With these foundations, you will custom design your relationships, rather than trying to fit yourselves into prescribed definitions of what relationship is "supposed" to look like.
