Why a Workbook?
Over 75% of people who purchase an online course never finish the material.
I wrote this because I truly believe in this material and I want you to have access to what I learned in graduate school. I chose an interactive workbook because I want you to be able to come back to this as often as you’d like and quickly get the information you need.
