Well, you made it. This is the last lesson of the last habit. To finish off the Educate Yourself habit, let’s go over some additional resources. You won’t use these resources regularly, but when you need them you’ll really need them. Consider them last minute additions to your utility belt.
But before you skip ahead, two things. First, there's no expectation you’ll use all of these. Everyone is different and different resources appeal to different people.

Of course, people usually have even more questions after learning a little bit, but hopefully, they'll be more interesting questions.
Every organization is a unique snowflake and sometimes you need some one-on-one attention. If your organization is dealing with something particularly sticky, try a coaching session with a Certified Coach. Think of how much time you could save yourself (or the expensive time of having several people try to figure it out), versus just scheduling an hour phone call. If interested, send an email to
hello@holacracyone.com and get set up.
