Cost

Cost

To avoid the fees involved in cancelling an event, we’re using the “Reserve your spot for free” free tickets until we are sure we have enough people, and then you’ll be invited to register and pay.

Your price of $413 CAD ($350 + Tax) includes snacks, drinks, lunch and a non-refundable ticketing fee. (Note: Price could change depending organization expenses and sponsors. I am trying to get this event at the lowest price. As you may see, the price is going down. I am not expecting at all for it to go up in any case, but am expecting to maintain this price or maybe a little bit lower as soon as I get price confirmation of supplies that are needed to purchase for this event. That is another reason why I am using the pre-registration ticket first).

The cost also includes:

• 1 – 30-min group session online before the event. In that session:
  • I really want to avoid lost time during our workshop day, so I want to be sure that people introduce themselves beforehand.
  • I really want to prepare a workshop that you will really enjoy, so I will ask a few questions to build a very personalized workshop day.
• 2 group sessions online after the event (60 min each). In these sessions:
  • I really want to help you in deploying what you will learn, so these sessions will help you to do a follow up and I will able to help you with the real challenge in your real work life.
  • You will get to learn what others have as challenges and maybe, it will be very helpful for your situation.

Format

I assume you are highly motivated, and that you enjoy interactive learning. I therefore, will ask you to do some assigned reading and writing before arriving for our one-day workshop (preview here), and during the event, so we can skim over the basics and get down to what’s really interesting: how to rocket your performance and help the performance of others. One form to complete will be sent to your email address in advance.

With the info in our first online session, I will design a day that meets the needs of the group. Topics will be covered in more or less depth depending on your level of interests.
