Our online coaching platform offers a high level of support and accountability. Through a check in process that happens 4-5 x a week you will find that you start to notice things differently in your setting. Every 28 day session starts off with a check in session with your online coach so that you can get clarity on your priority goals. With encouragement you will be able to work to improve the quality and confidence of the relationships that matter most. You will find that pften a 3 week intensive is enough to get you started but some may prefer to invest in a longer term period of support. Please note we offer parents 1:1 support in the first stages of training which can start on completion of the Foundation A Part 1. Where there are two parents, parents have one account each. We only progress to group support when confidence is in a new phase and the focus is on fine tuning. Professionals usually take part in group learning starting after completion of Part 1 and Part 2 of Foundation A. |
