The curriculum
Eight hours of theory
will not get you
through Tuesday.
Six self-paced courses and one live clinic, built from the book and taken considerably further — scripts you can actually say out loud, templates you can send today, and one course written for the person on the other side of the desk.

How the courses work
Buy once, keep it
No subscription and no expiry. Every course you own includes future revisions at no additional cost.
Written, then watched
Every lesson is a short video with the full text beside it, because plenty of people take these courses at work and cannot play audio.
Materials you will actually use
Scripts, templates, worksheets, and scorecards — downloadable, editable, and free of the branding that would announce where they came from.
Discreet by design
We never publish enrollment, never sell your information, and never contact your employer. Use a personal address if you would rather the receipt stay out of a company inbox.
Teams and employers
Yes, your employer can pay for this
Many do — including the ones being described. Ask for an invoice and one is issued from Shoreline Consulting LLC with the detail most expense systems require. Team pricing starts at five seats.
