Your Certification will consist of three interactive parts:

Pre work: a series of reading and exercises that must be completed prior to the "live" event.

Live Event: a two day intensive workshop rich in developing personal awareness and learning to apply the tools and concepts in coaching, consulting and training activities.

Post Event Application: an opportunity to apply what you've learned in a workshop format with your first group of participants.
