How each module works
Section titled “How each module works”Every module follows the same pattern:
- Pre-work (15–20 min) — Self-paced theory reading that builds a mental model
- Workshop (45–60 min) — Facilitated hands-on session applying the theory
- Takeaway — A concrete artifact, habit, or workflow you use from that day forward
