Time Commitment
This four-week course takes about 10 hours to complete. Each week plan for:
- 1 hour of self-study on the course site (4 hours total)
- 1.5 hours in a live session or watching the session recording (6 hours)
For participants who want to go deeper—like for those whose career involves influencing young people—we offer an additional hour of weekly self-study content. People completing the PRO content should plan for 14 total hours for the course.
Live Sessions
CHAMPION sessions are moderated reflections with Blanchard leadership experts to answer questions and help you apply the content.
There will be a Welcome Session on Thursday, July 9, at the times listed below.
Regular sessions are every Thursday between July 16 and August 6. (In some time zones, these will be on Fridays.) Session times are listed here in Pacific Time (PT) in the United States, but you can use this time zone converter tool to find out the times in your location.
Thursdays (July 16, 23, 30, and August 6):
- 12 AM PT: English session hosted from New Zealand at 7 PM Thursdays New Zealand Time

There is an optional bonus session on Thursday August 13 at 9 AM. It's targeted to parents, but everyone is welcome to attend.
To support our global audience, we offer a few time options. Attend one session each week at the time that works best. We may adjust session times once we have the final registration list.
We encourage participants to attend the sessions live, but we provide recordings for those who miss a class.
