FAQs and Registration
Q: How will I get my Workbook pages?
A: They will be sent by encrypted email to you.

A: Yes you can, I offer both group and individual training sessions.

2. To provide you with a safe space for respectful discussions.

Seven Easy Agreements for the Group Sessions
1. Keep it light!
There is no competition. The best part of this journey is applying the skills to your life.
2. We will therefore provide mutual support.
3. We will respect everyone regardless of race, sex, class, ethnicity, religious persuasion, or disability.
And we will use language that is appropriate for our children and grandchildren. Meaning, no offensive, obscene, or vulgar words.
4: You will apologize for breaking the rules mentioned in 2 and 3.
If you persist, then after two warnings you will no longer be allowed to join the discussion component of the sessions. You will still be entitled to all class handouts and the tutor's support for the remainder of the sessions. You will therefore be considered an individual rather than a group client.
5: You agree that all sales are final. No refunds will be given, except at The Ark's sole and absolute discretion.
6: The Ark agrees to partner with HIPAA-approved telemedicine scheduling and conferencing software and to adhere to all privacy laws. By agreeing to join the classes you are also agreeing to these security and privacy terms.
7:
You are strongly encouraged to protect yourself by not sharing private information. Case studies are provided for some sessions to make sharing of thoughts as general as possible. In addition, the workbook comes with many situations that can be used to frame questions.
You, therefore, agree to take full responsibility for what and how you share and to protect yourself and your privacy during our discussions.
Disclaimers: (1) The Ark and its agents are not responsible for any fallout based on information placed in the public domain by participants during the discussions.
(2) The Tutor is not a medical doctor and so any information shared with respect to your wellbeing is for educational purposes only. Consult your medical practitioner before making any health decisions.
(3) Although the Tutor has more than 17 years of banking experience, including experience in Will preparation and the administering of estates, all information shared is basic information for educational purposes only. Consult your bankers or financial advisors before making any decisions.
Success Tips
1. Read (not study) the chapters in the workbook before class and do the exercises either mentally or by writing in a journal.
2. These classes are equivalent to a workshop: there is no pass/fail grade.
So please relax and enjoy the learning experience.
3. Although the exercises can be done mentally, it is advisable to write your discussion points and questions before class.
4. Use the case studies and stories from the workbook for discussions.
5. With respect to your personal life, only share what you are comfortable sharing, as confidentiality cannot be assured in these discussions.
6. Remember to allow other persons to share in the discussions.
7. Enjoy the class discussions.
Let's work on this while we still can, and remember that "time waits for no one".
