ORIENTATION: Getting Around and Getting Connected

 
PREVIEW: This week is an un-official start to your residency. We know you have questions, a lot of excitement and maybe just a little trepidation in starting something new. Our goal this week is to answer all of those questions and make sure you are comfortable finding your way around the residency classroom and break room. 

PERSONAL COMMUNICATION: During this week we will be sending out links and passwords to the classroom, resources library and Slack to your email address. You may want to print this communication or save it to a file on your computer, tablet, or phone for future access. Feel free to respond to the email with any questions. We will also be offering a schedule for face-to-face meeting and addressing any needs you might have. The following information will arrive by email. Feel free to respond to Lyn and Michelle personally by email using REPLY ALL.


  • Small Group or Personal Zoom. This is an optional zoom opportunity to meet one another and answer questions. It will be short, but sweet!
  • Information Packet and Slack Invitation. By email you will receive a welcome packet and an invitation to Slack, our area for chatting and posting.
  • Roster. While much of your communication with your fellow residents will be through Slack, we wanted to provide you some information and other ways to connect with one another so we are sending a useful roster.
 
TO READ:  If you are keeping a notebook for the Residency, these three handouts will be a good reference going forward.  All written material on the Enso Circle is copyrighted. However, the written materials and links to videos in the Lesson Guide are yours to keep for your personal use as part of your residency.


  • (PDF) A Note From Lyn and Michelle: Modeling Creative Collaboration (Remove the Feb 2021 date and use our Lyn&Michelle signature)
  • (PDF) Housekeeping/Rules and Computer Requirements (If you agree with removing our MB/LB? B&B, this section needs to be removed from this pdf.)
  • (PDF) Our Private Slack Group (LB) (Remove LB)
 
TO WATCH:  These two videos will be helpful to understand how the Circle works. Be sure the watch these before your personal or small group zoom and take notes if there is something you don’t understand that we can address. We have grown with each residency, so you might notice that the classroom page doesn’t look exactly the same as Lyn describes it in the video but rest assured that the bones of The Enso Circle are still the same.

TO ACCOMPLISH: This week is for checking things out! Get nosy! This is your “new car” so take some time to kick the tires and check out the gadgets.
  • Using the Slack invitation make sure that the links work and you can join the group.
  • Review the short printed and video materials to have a good understanding of how to get around. Make note of your questions. We can help.
  • Choose a slot on the schedule for the personalized zoom. We look forward to meeting you. (Done!! - good work!!)
           
OPTIONAL RESOURCES:
