How the courses work
Every lesson page has the video, a cleaned transcript you can read instead of watching, the key points, and one exercise to do before the next lesson. The workbook for each course is a free download; we ask for your email there so the file reaches you and your progress follows you. Nothing else is gated.
The courses were recorded by Martha Spalding, who built the Power Without Permission program with Leaders ADAPT. The book they come from is by Andreas Pettersson and is on the book page. If you came here from the QR code in the printed book, the book resources page has your worksheet.
