Section 4  ·  Commitment
I will attend all nine sessions, live and on camera: Tuesdays at 4:00 pm Eastern on October 6, 13, 20 and 27, November 3, 10 and 17, and December 1 and 8, 2026. No session is held during Thanksgiving week. I understand that sessions build sequentially, and that one missed session may be recovered through a thirty-minute make-up session with Chip. A second missed session forfeits certificate eligibility.

I will complete roughly ninety minutes of applied work between sessions, using my own decisions and my own numbers.

I will hold everything shared by other participants in confidence, permanently, and I understand the same protection applies to me.
