Terms & Content Use

The short version

Everything in the course, the community, and the resource library — lessons, slides, the workbook, scenario cards, challenge cards, assessments, videos, and anything else you can read, download, or watch here — is the original work of Four Threads and Christine Townsend. It is licensed to you for your own use, not sold to you outright.

You are welcome to use it, learn from it, and apply it in your own work. Please do not copy, screenshot, forward, repost, resell, or teach it as your own to people outside this community.

What you can do

Use everything here for your own learning and your own work — take notes, fill in your workbook, apply the frameworks with your team, and bring what you learn into how you lead.

Reference the Four Threads Framework by name in your own writing or presentations, with credit back to Christine Townsend and Four Threads.

What we ask you not to do

Do not copy, download and redistribute, screenshot, or repost course materials, slides, resources, the workbook, scenario cards, or challenge cards outside this community — including in a private group chat, a shared drive, social media, or your own training materials.

Do not present this content — in whole or in part — as your own work, or use it to build or teach a competing program.

Do not share your login or your access to the community or course with anyone who has not trained with us.

The Invisible Challenges cards

The challenge cards were written anonymously by women in the room during training. They carry the same rule as everything else here, held a little more tightly: what you read on a card stays in this community. Do not screenshot, copy, or share a card outside this space, even with the identifying details removed.

If you leave the program or the community

Your license to use these materials is tied to your access. If your account is closed, please delete any copies you downloaded while you were a member.

Questions

If you want to use something from the course or the community outside it — quoting it in an article, referencing it in a presentation to your agency, anything like that — just ask first. We say yes more often than not.
