Workshops On Critical Topics
The aim of these workshops is to get you “un-stuck”. The topics are ones that people often struggle with. They are specific, tangible, and you come away with solid techniques for how to approach a real problem. You also learn about the areas of knowledge that lead to broader improvement on the root causes of the problem.
These are given twice monthly except for the month of December.
Each 90-minute workshop is $140. However, if you join as a 12-month subscriber, the cost is $98/month, and you can participate in up to 22 workshops, which reduces the cost of each to $54 if you attend them all.
