Frequently Asked Questions
What's the benefit of joining the live sessions?
During the main presentation, you can ask questions and share information in the text chat box. We all learn so much from one-another this way.
Afterwards, you’ll be able to enjoy the live Q&A session with me and others around the world — it’s exciting being part of such a global group.
What if I can't make the live masterclass?
No problem, it’s still worth registering. I’ll record the session and everyone who registered will be emailed a link to watch the session ‘on demand’ afterwards.
Will anyone see or hear me during the live masterclass?
It’s totally up to you. We use Zoom for these sessions, so you can leave your video on or switch it off so no one sees you, whatever you prefer. You can relax in your PJs with a cuppa if you want!
We also chat via the text box and, if you wish, you can remain anonymous.
