Set up for success:

A suitable computer

A desktop or laptop, with web cam and audio (microphone & speakers). A second monitor always useful.

All workshops are interactive and you'll be working with others throughout the day.

Zoom & internet

All sessions run on Zoom.

Join from a browser, or install the free app for better connectivity.

I keep things simple and engaging. You'll want good internet access.

your own space

Join alone from a calm and comfortable room.

If your workmates are coming your workshop too, join from separate spaces on separate devices. I'll set up virtual groups for us to learn together.

FAQs

printed course resources?

Coming to a workshop? Our quality course manuals have 30-70 pages. They're an essential tool both during and after our workshop. You might need a printed copy, especially for our initial HSR training. I send pdf course resources 5 days before our workshop.
