I--Memoir Writing
Completing a Turning Memories^® Workshop led by Soleil founder/director Denis Ledoux allows Leader Trainees to experience first hand the same program they will present themselves as certified workshop leaders.This workshop is also fundamental in helping you to write your own memoirs, an important credential for presenting workshops and services to clients.

II--Business Suppport
The Business Supports Seminar Tele-Class is a 15-week tele-conference class. It covers the nuts and bolts of growing or revitalizing a lifewriting-based small-business. Independent small business planning, office procedures, publicity & outreach, marketing and record keeping--all are specifically tailored to the personal-history professional and based on our experience since 1988 in developing memoir curriculum, growing our business, and presenting lifewriting programs.

A comprehensive The Personal History Practice Planning Manual (136 pages of exercises, forms, & resources) provides step-by-step support for this hands-on class.

The group support of colleagues in the class is a valuable asset as each individual prepares and implements a Business Strategy Plan that guides you through a full twelve months of business growth.

III--Teaching Guidance
The Curriculum/Teaching Methods Tele-Class is a five-session tele-class, designed to refresh experienced teachers and orient new ones to successfully implement the Turning Memories Into Memoirs^® curriculum.

Based on the Curriculum Manual, this class explores the inherent flow of the curriculum so that teachers can be comfortable in making adaptations to fit their individual teaching styles without affecting the success of the program.

Specific attention is given to dealing effectively with the thorny issues encountered in most workshops--dealing with painful memories and telling (how much of) the truth.

Questions and issues raised by the class are discussed so that all can benefit from both the instructor's and the participants' experience.
