You are drawn to share a home. Enhance your connection and understanding of each other and discuss how you will collaboratively take care of your home.

Often when people come into a new living situation they cross their fingers and hope the great feelings of anticipation and possibility will grow. Why not reinforce and build trust from the beginning so you have the conversations that matter?

People coming together to share a home have so many elements they will need to build clarity around to make their home lives rewarding. Write about why you are drawn to the situation. Determine how each person prefers to interact, each person's core values, and even who does the dishes. It's necessary to have clear conversations about the things that are important to every human being; money, time, love, privacy, community, home to custom design the living situation that works for everyone involved.

Mindfully building and employing the neural networks that have evolved to keep us connected, takes us from groups of people working or living together, to a Collaboratively Aware We Entity that thrives and adapts in any given situation. In every relationship there are at least 3 Entities: You, Me and We.

Collaborative Awareness is vital to custom designing the kind of living situation that takes all entities into consideration for optimal health.

The Blueprint of We Collaboration Document & Process

The Blueprint of We is a design document for people who want to get things done. The simple structure harnesses the innate social nature of humans and builds the skills and capacity to deliver on your goals.

• It is currently used in many languages and cultures in 100+ countries worldwide—from entrepreneurial start-ups to non-profit organizations to global corporations, from couples to families, from individuals to communities to any relationship situation that exists. 
• The Blueprint is at once intimate and scalable to thousands. 
• It creates a space to be vulnerable and is being used to replace or enhance legal contracts.

Two Blueprint of We Elements

1. The co-written design document gives people the space to exchange information about who they are and how they work best. 

• When we have information straight from the source, rather than making assumptions about what other people’s behavior means, our brains engage the neural networks that build trust and lower anxiety. 
• Your Blueprint is a living, breathing document that evolves and changes over time as your group evolves and changes.
• Combine this with team and company strategy or personal and community desires, and you have both people and process in alignment. This is the written foundation for clarity and ideation.

2. The collaboration process builds on your written design document and introduces tools to develop collaborative leadership behaviors, calming messy minds and improving on what is already working.  

• Through a method we refer to as Noise in the System, you learn to clarify and communicate your awareness of what matters, how you operate collectively, and how those behaviors become cultural patterns. 
• From that awareness, we give you simple, daily tools to help you question, and ultimately change, the pattern thinking that causes anxiety and stress. Stress, when used as a messenger, can give you clarity of direction, ease of decision-making, and resiliency in the storm.
• The iterative design process offers an on-going learning cycle about self and others in relation to how you get work done together.
