Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

This is a live 4 -week class.  The prepared instruction will run for 75 minutes with Q&A afterward. You will be amazed by how much you get done in a short amount of time! 

This is a live, cohort-style class with Q&A. You will learn from your fellow students, who are professionals from all over the world. We already have students enrolled from Canada, Australia, Germany, and the United States. 

There will be 4-weeks of live instruction/group coaching and a closed FaceBook group so class members can network. This curriculum has been refined after several rounds of teaching, and it is the culmination of decades of experience. There are replays, transcripts, slides, and a great workbook to reinforce concepts for you to review later.

Telling the stories of buildings and places: To sweeten the package, we are also including our popular professional class on telling the stories of buildings and places. This is an on-demand class you can watch any time.

Lay out your book in BookWright: This on-demand course will walk you through how to lay out a book or client story using Blurb's free BookWright software.

Organizing Large Projects: This on-demand class will walk you through my organizational process, naming convention, and will share my templates. 

Printed package: You will also receive a package of printed materials, including our life story interview booklets.


We hope you can join us live, but the sessions will be recorded. If you miss a class or want a refresh, you can go back and watch the replay. You may submit questions to be answered during the Q&A even if you can't be there. Course materials will remain live until the end of 2024. 

This class will have a mix of students who have years of experience in business and want to level up, alongside others who are considering getting started but are not off the ground yet. 

You will have the opportunity to join our alumni network of professionals so you can attend ongoing trainings and continue learning from your peers.

I will share real examples, and am happy to answer questions about how I run my business at Evalogue.Life.
