Workshop: Tim M - How To Sponsor Someone Through Step12 and Two Additional Topics (Part 3 of 3) 7 hrs Tim M does an impressive job leading this workshop that was held over 17 sessions on the topic of: How To Sponsor Someone Through The Steps. I have broken these down into 3 parts to go up over 3 days. Tim takes the lead for the first 45 min of each session, after that he takes questions from the participants. Recorded from the end of July to the middle of November in 2021, also a quick thanks to Tim for his help in getting these out to you. This was recorded over zoom so the audio quality is very good, however there are a couple of zoom dropouts. There was also good deal of dead air during the Q & A, I have gone through all the audio removing a much of that as possible along with balancing the audio levels. Since this has multiple sessions on each episode I added a very brief click track between the sessions to help you differentiate them.
