Q&A
Can I ask questions during the sessions?
Yes! The workshop calls are live and interactive. We'll include time for q&a at the end of each segment and on the dedicated Q&A day.
What if there are too many people on and I can't ask my question?
The group will be capped at a specific capacity level, so that everyone has an opportunity to engage and ask questions. When a group hits max capacity, a new group will be created.
An additional 1 hour Q&A session will also be available.
What if I have to miss one of the calls?
All classes will be recorded and shared with you afterwards.
