The Practicum: Pillars
Purpose: Application & Behavioral Discipline
Difficulty: Moderate - Tier 2
Responsibility: Personal
Description
The Practicum is where understanding begins to take form through action. Participants move from conceptual familiarity to practical application by working with the interactional standards of Trust, Honesty, and Communication in real-world settings.
This tier introduces behavioral discipline without hierarchy, therapy, or personal disclosure. The emphasis is on how work is actually done: how expectations are set, how information is shared, and how friction is reduced. Participants begin to experience the tangible effects of shared standards—clearer communication, greater reliability, and more effective collaboration—without yet carrying the weight of full responsibility.
