It is recommended that participants have a company sponsor.  The sponsor is committing the participant’s time for instruction, coaching and practice.  They are also committing to support the participant by being available as a sounding board, addressing obstacles and coaching.  This includes helping with suggesting opportunities for application of the tools.

This training works well with 2-4 people from the company taking it at the same time.  Please consider this an important option.  Also, about two weeks following completion of the course, a follow-up coaching session is offered to discuss successes and obstacles that present themselves during deployment. Sponsors are encouraged to engage in the follow-up to help support the continued application of the tools.
