What Happens After the Lab?
Lab completion is an important step toward becoming a Certified People-Centered Leader℠, but does not constitute certification. The Lab begins your real-world leader experience. You apply what you learned, receive my coaching reinforcement, and continue toward becoming a Certified People-Centered Leader℠. To complete your certification requirements you need to successfully participate in four Coaching Reinforcement sessions, following the Lab.
