About This Course
You Were Promoted Without Warning
Caregiving happened without your permission, changing your day, your life, your future. The experience also elevated you to the position of CEO — executive of all things caregiving. The problem? You never got a chance to learn how to be the CEO. The stress that comes from taking on a role for which you could not prepare is overwhelming, and at times paralyzing.

What Students Say
From the Community
"Denise is an awesome instructor. The course offers helpful and useful tools and gets us involved using them. It helps me see there are always choices and to be open minded and flexible. The course is useful for a wide range of caregivers, at various stages of caregiving."
— Course Student"I looked forward to completing a video every week and did my best to soak in all the information and ideas on how to manage my time, recognize and change bad habits, and become a better leader and a better ME. My favorite was Class 5, Management Skills — I took 6 pages worth of notes! The most important thing I learned: 'Arrive into my day knowing I have LOVE.' The webinars were beautiful, interesting, funny, deep and very beneficial. I was really sad that it was over."
