Classes

Class: Pulling it all Together (sample topic) - usually 1 1/2 to 2 hours (can also be intensive study of 3 session - 1 1/2 hours each in multi-sessions.)

In our highly interactive classes we'll help you assess and build your personal safety net: the people, plans and resources you need to have in place for life's inevitable challenges. Through real life stories, as well as individual and group activities, participants are guided and empowered to take strategic steps toward building their own personal safety nets. This presentation is targeted to fit individual or group goals and needs.

By the end of the class, participants will also have gained valuable insights for improving their asking skills, and understand the idea of putting together teams to help them successfully move forward.

Each person also receives a free copy of our book, Personal Safety Nets: Getting Ready for Life's Inevitable Changes and Challenges -- how cool is that?! For scheduling or details please contact the office: 206-659-0665.
