Dear collaborative discussion friends,
We are excited to share that due to popular demand we have opened registration for two more Collaborative Discussion Coach Trainings, one in July and another in September. If you have been enjoying the collaborative discussion activities that we highlight and want to learn more about how you can use these activities in your work, register for a training. It is a great opportunity to dive deeper into these activities and become certified to offer your own Collaborative Discussion Certificate Program. You will be joining a growing community of coaches (150+) who award certificates in collaborative discussion (800+).
