Resource license

Resources we make available, including the Practicing Independence field guide and its worksheets, are licensed for internal use by the authorized recipient or purchaser and their practice leadership team.

They may not be reproduced, republished, sold, redistributed externally, white-labeled, incorporated into another commercial product, or used to provide consulting services to third parties without our written permission.
