SCHEDULE

  • We will meet on Zoom from 9:00am-1:00pm (four hours) California time each day, February 5 + 6 + 7, 2021.

  • We spend time together in the main Zoom room, and in order to keep the online experience as close as possible to the in-person experience, significant time will be spent working in two’s, three’s, and six’s, in separate Zoom rooms.

  • We will take frequent breaks as well.

CURRICULUM + HOMEWORK

  • The curriculum will be the complete training curriculum that has been used in the past Certification Workshops.

  • You will be trained on all of the DYL tools and some tools from our new book, Designing Your Work Life.

  • In order to make the experience as rich as possible, and to be trained on the complete curriculum in a limited amount of classroom time, we will be using what is called a “flipped classroom” approach.  That means that most of the lectures will be pre-recorded and will be assigned as homework prior to the Zoom classroom.  That gives us more time in-class to work together on your questions, the application of the tools in real life, and more time for in-depth discussions about your coaching practice.

  • We estimate around 5 hours of “pre-work” will be required prior to attending the Workshop. We will release all of the lecture videos at least a week in advance (usually earlier). Each day of the 3 day workshop, we will cover about 6 topics – and you will have needed to have watched all the videos for that day, before class starts.  You can watch them all in advance, or the night before, whatever works best.
