This workbook will help you get the most out of the course. You will see the book mirrors the courses lesson format. For each lesson there are a number of aims that represent the key learning points for that section of the course. We have provided space to write your notes as you go through and there is spare note space at the end of the workbook in case you need more than we have provided for any of the lessons.
The space for action points is where the magic happens. We all know that learning is only useful if we do something with the knowledge so for each lesson make a note of what you are going to do as a result of what you have learnt. Make the action as specific as possible and set yourself a manageable timeframe. If you have some kind of to do list or schedule of action points make sure you transfer these actions to that and get them done.
Each lesson has 2-3 quiz questions that need to be completed on the members site in order to proceed. We have provided space for you to make a note of your answers to these questions as you go through the content so you are prepared for the questions. Not only will this workbook help you as you complete the course but, if used effectively, it will also provide you with a source of key information you can refer back to.
Good Luck!
