For your convenience, you can choose between two formats each of which covers the same material, whether done online or face-to-face:
OPTION A: 1 Day Program. Delivered in 1 day, usually from 9am to 3.30pm, start time can be flexible. Perfect if you want to cover all the material in the shortest possible time and in just one go.
OPTION B: 2 Session Program. Delivered in two 3.5 hour sessions one week apart. Ideal if you find two shorter, separate sessions more convenient.
With both options, the program is broken up in to a number of short modules each of which covers one or several key strategies or techniques. These progressively build on each other and regular short breaks are taken to maintain attention and focus. In this way, it is possible to easily absorb and learn the techniques covered whether done in one go or two shorter, separate sessions.
If you live in Sydney or Lismore, this Program can be done face-to-face at Gloo in Rozelle or North Lismore. It can also be delivered directly in your home within the Sydney metropolitan and Lismore areas at no extra charge, if done in one session.
Zoom The Program can also be done from the comfort and convenience of your home using Zoom. See the FAQ below for more details.
