We offer two different versions of the cohort —
- One with pre-recorded videos and less time in live sessions.
- One with no videos and more time in live sessions.
Both versions include teaching, peer feedback & discussion, feedback from Jeremy and Tom, Q&A, templates, and an electronic copy of our book, Mastering Work Intake: From Chaos to Predictable Delivery.
