You will meet with both your coach and client once a week, separately, to coach, and be coached over a 12 week schedule. 

This weekly schedule is decided by you and your coach/client. At the end of the 12 weeks you will be assigned a new coach and a new client to start all over again. This will include two (2) coaching circle cycles for a total of twenty four (24 ) coaching hours.

Masterminds and Group Discussions will also be held, where available to further share knowledge, practice our skills and learn from one other.
