Frequently Asked Questions For Sponsoring:
What is needed to sponsor a Bowen Touch Foundation I Training?
The Basics needed For Coordinating a Training Are: Intention, Commitment and... Connection & Contact with a group/network of hands-on practitioners (massage therapists, nurses, pts, ots, physicians, yoga, instructors, trainers; -possibly dancers etc...) who be interested and enroll from your area.
- People skills and basic organizational skills help; - clarity, and attention to detail
- Ability To Communicate Clearly and Respond within reasonable time is important. A willingness to maintain regular communication with us, as well as willingness to be responsive to all inquires and communications with potential students.
- A Commitment to master the power of intention & a willingness to respond quickly.
- A strong commitment and intention to create the necessary conditions for this training to happen in your location with your group.
How Many Participants For A Training?
We request a minimum of 14 fully paid participants (Since repeating students pay half price, they each compose - one half in the total). Have a clear intention yet being realistic in expectations. It’s essential to be practical and realistic in your expectations. Experienced sponsors understand from repeated observation, that a fraction of people who initially demonstrate interest actually follow through by enrolling when its time to fill out registration.
What Do I Receive For My Supportive Efforts?
As Sponsor You Receive a Discount on your own tuition as well as * we pay you $26 per student (per module) for each student you bring to class through your own efforts. To coordinate with a student coming in over the website, we would pay you $26 per student, regardless of how many modules taken. *(or a percentage of the net proceeds of the class. These are determined by the number of students the sponsor recruits).
How Much Time Do I Need to Plan A Training: How far in advance should I plan?
Most often, five or six months is seen to be the minimum secure prep-time in organizing a cbst training seminar. This gives all potential participants plenty of time to get information about the seminar training, complete registration and arrange travel plans.
Size Classroom Needed?
It depends on the number of enrolled students. In most instances: 45 - 50 sq feet per student participating. In arranging for a classroom for the training, it is essential to know the actual square footage. (This is because most meeting rooms promote and describe their size for “legal capacity.” This is not taking into consideration space for therapy tables, chairs, etc.)
What To Do Next?
