Each module of the online course takes roughly 30 minutes to complete, which doesn’t include the writing portion.
Each module includes 3-4 writing options that you can work on or you can submit your own writing for feedback from your personal coach (no AI here!).
The Gold and Platinum packages also include face-to-face coaching!
There are three tiers: Silver, Gold, and Platinum. Each tier offers progressively more interaction with your coach. The Platinum course offers the most contact time and personalized guidance. Helping nationwide teams improve clarity and collaboration
