We just added our Barrier Briefing class to the schedule. In this two-part class we show you how turn those brick walls into speed bumps.
We use the word “barrier” in the broader definition – something that makes progress difficult. Lots of things could potentially be barriers. We show you how to identify potential barriers through the eyes of a landlord or employer. Then we show you step by step how to address them. Some may be very simple – others will take more to address.
Here are some common examples of potential barriers, including many that might not commonly be thought of as a “barrier”:

Our classes are streamlined to give you the information you need (without the fluff), including practical tools that you can start to put it into use the same day. How are these different from other classes held in the community? Our Why Us? page explains how our approach is different.
Note: a total of 8 seats are available for this class.
