Lettie had asked me after I made it known that I attended this workshop to provide some information. What she has here is the best I could suggest. There is truly no way to summarize the workshop in a few words (other than with the links) except to say, “If you’re doing it in secret, think about why and how the secrecy is going to be perceived.”
Oooh! Good food for thought, Nancy! Thanks for sharing:)
