I’m excited to announce the Circle Workbook is now available in German—and you can use the new Workbook in two ways.

In a guided experience (a paid program, the next one starts in June), we match you in a Circle and support you from start to finish. The WOL Community app makes it easy to have great exchanges within a Circle, between Circles, and across the Community. And members also get access to special networking groups for an entire year.

Or you can register for a “free trial” of the Workbook. It’s a complete set of the Circle Guides, but you need to find members yourself and some restrictions apply. (See answers to common questions below.)

I am deeply grateful to Mara Tolja, Katharina Krentz, Sabine Kluge, Alexander Kluge, and Stefanie Moser for their contributions to making this German version possible. (Herzlichen Dank an alle.)

I look forward to welcoming you in the WOL Community!

"Where do I find people for my Circle?"

The easiest way to get started is to join a "guided experience." (The next one starts in June.) To form a WOL Circle on your own, you can find 3 or 4 other people in online WOL meetups which have events in the WOL Community, or post in the WOL group on LinkedIn to ask for members there.

"Are these Circle Guides free? Why is it call a 'trial'?"

Yes, the Circle Workbook is offered without charge. It's called a “free trial" because there are certain restrictions, and the guided experience offers many more benefits. Also, if you enjoy your Circle, we hope you will try WOL Mindfulness or WOL for Teams, or spread WOL Circles in your organization. 

"Can I use WOL in my company? Or with my customers?"

There is a limit of 20 registrations from any one company or domain name for free materials. This allows us to offer a free version for those who need it. Organizations can try WOL Circles for free too, but only up to 20 people. After that, there are options for programs and licenses.

For companies that want to spread WOL, you can find information about supported programs and licenses for materials at "WOL in Your Company". 

If you are an independent coach or freelancer, you can refer your clients to the Community, but you cannot include WOL in any services or programs without explicit written permission.

“I’m already receiving Circle Guides as PDFs via email. Can I switch to the Workbook?”

Yes! And I recommend you switch. You can begin using the new Workbook and continue with that even if you have already started a Circle. If you no longer want to receive the weekly emails, you can unsubscribe. Otherwise you will continue to receive the remaining emails each week.
