The weekly masterclasses will take place via Zoom (or another similar video conferencing platform) for approximately 1 hour. Unless there are unforeseen circumstances, the video calls will take place at 7pm (UK time) every Wednesday.

During each weekly live session you will be given journal prompts to reflect on your past week; the opportunity to share your experiences and get hot seat coaching; and receive a training exercise to re-charge and motivate participants for the following week.

Question & Answer Sessions

Each week you will get the chance to ask questions about your Mindset in terms of your business, or career and get tailored bespoke support. All of the Q&As will be delivered in the weekly group sessions via zoom. This will provide you with the opportunity to ask questions and discuss your own circumstances and get support.

Self-Study
