2026 Advanced Training

LST is pleased to provide specialized online training for experienced LST Workers throughout the year!  The goal of these workshops is to help experienced Workers develop their conversation sessions through committment to core principles and participation in other LST Programs. 

These sessions are for LST-trained Workers with some LST experience:

• Workers who have been through the core LST Training (Basic Training, a FriendSpeak Training Seminar, or training for an LST mission project).
• Workers who have experience working with an LST Reader.
• Workers who feel comfortable utilizing the LST approach.

For Workers trained by LST, these advanced training sessions are offered for no additional fee.

Each 45-minute Advanced Training session includes:

• Interaction with other Workers
• Plenty of time for Q and A
• Specific content designed to help improve your conversation session right away.

Descriptions of the sessions:

1. Overview of the LST Workbooks - This workshop provides an in-depth look at all 12 workbooks available to you and your Reader(s). Offered 3 times in 2026.
