The Life Ready Woman series is much more than a video experience. In fact, the video training is only part of the overall experience. More important is the quality environment you set as the leader; the personal interaction, care, and attention you give the women in your group; and the added touches you bring.

Be creative.
Have fun.

Encourage participants in every way you can. At times some women will struggle with the content. Single women, in particular, may push back when the content focuses on marriage and children. You will need to encourage them and remind them that this material is not just for where they are now, but for where most will be someday (and most will one day be married and have children). Other women may struggle with the practical assignments and applications. The personal support and assistance you and your team offer these women are the key to making this Life Ready Woman training a success.
