2️⃣ Impact Indicators: Feb 2 🕒 15-17:00 CET / 16-18:00 EET
Choose indicators to track your progress – specifically suited for your goals & your team’s capacities.
3️⃣ Implementation System: Feb 4 🕒 15-17:30 CET / 16-18:30 EET
Design a system that works for you – align your regular routines with your impact strategy and indicators you wish to track.
FOLLOW-UP
After the series, we will continue following up with you! We will host optional check-ins every few months, providing dedicated time and space for your team to revise the strategy and plans, based on real-life feedback and learning by doing.

❗️ DISCLAIMERS ❗️
⚠️ The hardest part is showing up! We know you’re busy! That’s why we are offering this space for strategic thinking and planning – that otherwise tends to be left for the never-approaching time of “when I finish just this one very important and urgent thing”.
⚠️ The workshops will be 90% practical, with you and your team working on your goals – no magic tricks, no shortcuts.
⚠️ The workshops will be mentally demanding & they might get uncomfortable, as is everything that expands our field of expertise and practice.
