The home study version of the program and Group Coaching Program have been delayed possibly till 2013 for personal and family reasons.  During this time of grieving the loss of several family members, my work schedule is limited to coaching my private clients and occasional appearances.  Thanks for understanding.  I hope to resume my work with groups in 2013.
