The Lotus Project
What do you get for your purchase?
When I was designing the Lotus Project to get it out into the world, I was really conscious about making a product that was easy for a person to use to connect with teens wherever they were. Your time is important and I don't want you to reinvent the wheel. As a public school teacher I am also aware that we don't have a lot of extra money flowing in to our budgets. I designed this so you could use it multiple years in a row, without repurchasing again.
Read on to learn about all you will get. It's definitely the most bang for your buck!

Personal Coaching Prep Session
Sometimes trying something new can be intimidating. I'm here to be your cheerleader, your guiding force and your clarifier. One hour of coaching can often run people close to one hundred dollars, but I feel it's so important to make sure you feel ready to lead that I wanted to incorporate this into our cost. After you've purchased, we will set a time to chat that works for your busy schedule. In person or video chat, we will connect. I can't wait! LP
