One recurring theme, however, that invariably comes up in many informal conversations is the lack of time,  and the difficulty in scheduling the time to atttend these workshops.

Yes, many people say, “I’d love to sign up for another workshop, or two, or three, but I just can’t find 1-2 hours to fit in my busy schedule next Wednesday at 3:00 PM.” Sometimes people call me and apologize for cancelling at the last minute - “I just have this project that has to be finished today…” I understand - I have those projects too!

Alas, when they do have the time, there may not be a workshop of interest scheduled. It seems to be a problem without solution… Or is it?
