There are 4 dates to choose from. Look for these dates on the events calendar.
GREAT videos about coaching virtually: Our NorCal Association Director and the SoCal Association Director have created several short videos that can help you with “distance coaching,” such as scriptwriting, prop creation, virtual spontaneous, and much more. Check out these videos called Creative Journey Tools.
