What does your intervention look like?After some time in your small groups getting feedback on each other's plans you will upload your "project" into Actioneer. We will host two 30 minute check ins, 30 and 60 days after the program to check in on how things are going and celebrate progress.Take time to get familiar with Actioneer. You don't need to fill anything out now since we will have time during the program. Actioneer was created as a tool to share plans, encourage action and build momentum.
