Helping Each Other Get to the Top

As we approach the final third of our cycle, it’s a great time to reflect on where we started, how far we’ve come, and what’s ahead.


Regardless of how well (or not well) you’ve been performing so far, now’s the time to decide how you can finish strong. 


Below are some questions to help guide you this week. We encourage you to spend some time sharing your answers with your dyad partner and receiving feedback on your progress. It’s very easy for us to focus on our deficits and minimize our accomplishments, so this can prove to be a very positive and encouraging conversation.


  • What is the core outcome I was looking to achieve when I created my program?
  • How does where I am now compare to that vision?
  • What, if anything, could I have done differently to better design my program?
  • What shadow(s) should I be on the lookout for over these next few weeks and how can I lean into the group and my dyad partners for greater accountability around them?
  • If my program is going smoothly, what do I need to be aware of to stay sharp?


We hope you’ll lean into your group this week and get the support you need to get to the finish line successfully.
