Who is the 3D Institute?
The 3D Institute was established in 2014 to come alongside sport administrators in a quest to help meet the growing professional development needs of the international coaching community. Historically, 3DI has trained sport leaders from over 60 countries to lead according to the 3D Framework. The 3D Framework empowers leaders to maximize the performance of their teams and leave a powerful legacy of impact in the lives of those they lead. Through this project, in partnership with The Joseph Company, 3DI has contextualized the 3D Framework to be made applicable for the education industry and the business community as well.
What is The Joseph Company?
The Joseph Company is a gathering of leaders from our community who are taking the 3D Journey together. To help fund this initiative, The Joseph Company is also a “Field of Interest Fund” set up at the Community Foundation of Northwest Missouri. This fund has been resourced by grant funding and generous community members who want to make this training available at no cost to any individual or organization in Buchanan County, MO who desires to participate.
How much does this cost?
Thanks to generous supporters from our community, there are no financial costs to individuals or organizations who sign up before 12/31/24. The cost is your time and thoughtful attention to how this training can be applied to make a positive impact in your life, on your team, or in our community.
How much time does this take?
While the Journey is not particularly time-intensive, it does require intentional, uninterrupted reflective time to be effective. We encourage participants to complete training videos before our live gatherings. This will take about 30 minutes per month. The monthly live training will be 90 minutes based on the schedule outlined above.
What topics will this training cover?
The content is all based on the 3D Framework which includes topics like motivation, confidence, emotions, team cohesion, goal setting, character, identity, significance, value, self-worth and purpose.
