Join us monthly at the lab or for a six or 12 month commitment. The LLDS is a place to LEARN, Connect with others, take ACTION on your own program ideas and have accountability to make it happen.

Each bi-weekly call will have a focus on a topic related to a core theme related to group and/or team programs (workshops, retreats, coaching). The calls are designed to provide you with content and tips for your own programming, as well as answer specific questions you bring.

If you can't make the group call time (usually Fridays 8-850 am Eastern/New York or 12 - 12:50 pm ET) you can still listen into recorded calls. I will also be experimenting with some additional group calls at other times of the week and days throughout the year.
