The Three Commitments™: Building a Foundation for Diversity of Thought Goods / Services Description (USPTO-Ready Language) Educational services, namely providing leadership-development workshops, executive and team-coaching programs, organizational training, and facilitated group learning experiences focused on strengthening collaboration, diversity of thought, and team effectiveness through a proprietary three-commitment behavioral framework; downloadable and printed educational materials, including books, workbooks, assessments, and facilitation guides featuring structured practices, reflective exercises, and team-based dialogue tools for improving trust, curiosity, and inclusive team performance. Basis for Trademark The Three Commitments™ is a proprietary leadership and team-development framework created by Bryan Powell that establishes a foundational set of ongoing behavioral commitments required for effective collaboration and diversity of thought within teams. Unlike one-time workshops or values statements, this framework operationalizes inclusion and collaboration through three clearly defined, repeatable commitments—Know Thyself, Appreciation, and Be Curious—that are practiced daily and revisited regularly as part of a team’s operating rhythm. The framework is designed to build trust, psychological safety, and shared accountability by anchoring individual self-awareness and interpersonal engagement within a collective team context. The Three Commitments™ are used as a foundational system that supports role clarity, team dialogue, leadership development, and the creation of explicit team agreements. 🔍 Why This Is Trademarkable ✔ Distinctive While self-awareness, appreciation, and curiosity are common leadership concepts individually, The Three Commitments™ functions as a named, integrated framework that defines how teams intentionally practice these behaviors together over time. The mark identifies a specific behavioral system, not abstract values or generic DEI principles. ✔ Original Structure and Framing You have created: A named, three-part commitment model Clearly defined behavioral expectations for each commitment A repeatable team-based coaching and facilitation process A distinctive emphasis on group dialogue rather than isolated one-on-one feedback A bridge between personality awareness, role alignment, and collective accountability This structure transforms common leadership ideas into a coachable, repeatable methodology. ✔ Integrated Into a Broader Branded System The Three Commitments™: Serve as a foundational layer within The Efficient Frontier of Teaming™ Directly support psychological safety, trust, and healthy debate Feed into the creation of the Team Contract™ Reinforce Collective Leadership behaviors and team maturity development This integration demonstrates consistent source-identifying use across a cohesive IP ecosystem. ✔ Delivered as a Commercial Educational Product The framework is actively delivered through: Books and written leadership content Facilitated team workshops and off-sites Executive and team coaching engagements Group personality and role-alignment sessions Training materials, slides, and facilitation guides USPTO favors marks tied to repeatable, commercialized educational and coaching systems, which this clearly represents. Summary Positioning Statement (Internal Use) The Three Commitments™ is a proprietary team-development framework that builds a durable foundation for diversity of thought by embedding self-awareness, appreciation, and curiosity into the daily operating rhythm of teams—transforming collaboration from a concept into a lived practice. Strategic Note This mark pairs especially well with: The Teaming Inefficiency Gap™ (diagnosis) The Psychological Safety Activation Framework™ (environment) Team Contract™ (execution and accountability) Together, they form a clean progression from mindset → behavior → structure.
