Will I have to stay at my computer the whole day?
Not if you don’t want to! You have the option to come and go as you please. You can choose the sessions that most interest you and take a break whenever you need, or participate from start to finish. You can even close your computer and exit the clinic, then rejoin at a later time. Whatever works best for you.

They’ll be answering questions live at the end of every session period. There will be a short period dedicated to questions with the presenting coach before moving on to the next session.
What if I can't watch all/any of the clinic live?
