Several times a year, we host specialty workshops on niche topics that are of interest to our student and client community. Many of these workshops are included with our courses and programs, but are also sold on a stand-alone basis.

Below is a list of our most popular workshops available for purchase. Any upcoming workshop will be listed with a date, and if you enroll before that date, you will be able to attend the live presentation. If a workshop does not have a specific date on it, you will get access to the replay as soon as you enroll. 

You can find more upcoming opportunities, both online and offline, on our events page.

I hope to see you on a call live sometime!
