I’ve been teaching since the late ’80s and am learning much, being reminded of things
I’ve heard before, and clarifying information I thought I knew. But, what I am really
loving is that I feel like I am a much more powerful, life-enhancing instructor.

14-Day Course: Frequently Asked Questions

How much time is involved?

What if I get busy and miss a week?

Are there tests?
