Create a high-retention flywheel for your course grads without the headache of online platforms.
It sucks to teach an amazing, heartfelt, transformative course and then have everything you’ve built just fizzle away.
You bust your butt on marketing to find the people who need you. Facilitating the course takes a ton of energy.
You can’t babysit a Facebook group on top of all your other jobs. So grads just scatter and you’re lucky if they open your emails again.
"We poured a decade of research into solving this problem. We think it’s the simplest, easiest, least-burdensome way to keep your alumni connected... WITHOUT more content, facilitation or 'community'-building, because you have enough to do!"
Building community is a hard job. It’s exhausting to burden yourself with facilitation, giving away free time to the loudest members while hidden leaders drift away.
Stop trying to gather them into groups. Pair them up for conversations related to their shared interest. 1:1 conversations are easier to schedule and less work for you.
"Imagine a scalable way to keep people connected that keeps them coming back for something that’s NOT your content."
Which of these do you think your grads would value the most? Remember, we’ll do all the heavy lifting!
Perfect for interpersonal skills like interviewing, pitching, or nonviolent communication. They’ll value the chance to practice live.
For new habits like writing or lucid dreaming. A space to share snippets of work, little victories, and metrics.
For applying your framework to life and work. Best for open-ended, generative dialogue and sense-making.
If they are on the front lines or facing major changes, they benefit from listening and reflection within a clear framework.
For innovative ideas. Opportunities to reinforce the meaning of their network membership and activate shared identity and mission.
Telling people to "look around the Zoom room" is overwhelming. It won't happen.
A recipe for awkwardness. What if they don't get along? How long are they stuck?
Random coffee bots (like Donut) quickly become irritating and conversations stay superficial.
Trying to pair them yourself leads to administrative nightmares and chasing flaky people.
Loyal advocates and serious practitioners scatter to the winds.
Creating an engagement strategy requires intentional design. Here are the five principles that work:
7-week programs, not open-ended commitments.
Prime them with prep cues. Default to 1 hour.
Only prompt people who want to meet THAT WEEK.
Assign who takes point to schedule. This is gold!
Get insight into what happened to identify flakiness.
Don’t suffer on. It’s a huge waste, and infinitely demoralizing, to have people you’ve hustled to recruit and labored to teach fizzle away from you after you’ve created so much amazing momentum with your incredible course.
Keep all those people who have already fallen in love with you connected to your work.
