CURRICULUM OUTLINE

Our workshops are all action and very little talk. Applied behavioral science supports the saying, “Repetition is the Mother of Skill” and is what makes change sustainable, so we believe to every 1 hour of knowledge there should be 4 hours of practice.

Here’s how it will go:

• 20-minutes of online pre-work that provides you the materials and fundamental concepts you will be applying.
• Facilitated interactive practicum online or face to face
• Post event online survey and report. We assess 4 things on your post survey:
• Knowledge learned, applied, and its impact on the people and the business.
