Learning and live webinars
Each week, a new online learning module will be added so you can explore the week’s topic through brief online materials. After completing the online materials, the class will meet online for a live webinar with the remote coach. Participants will discuss the group’s questions about the topic of the week and get additional resources and insights.
One-on-one coaching
Three one-hour one-on-one coaching sessions are included in this course. Use this time to explore anything that was covered in the course as well as any other topics you might need help with. If you need additional coaching, the service is available for an additional fee.
