Where do we go from here?

Hi Coaches,

I hope you all enjoyed Session One yesterday. It was quite a bit of information but we are prepared to give as much support as you need to get things running smoothly. So let's take it step by step. Hopefully you have checked out the NCA website and have found it easy to use. If you go to the tools and resources section you will find all of the forms and templates that you need for the first action items. We will go over these in detail in our coach - mentor meetings next week. The slides from yesterday will be posted there within the next day or two, as well.

If you have not completed the four surveys please get those done so we have an idea of where we are starting off with each team.

The only thing you need to come to our first meeting with are the days and times that you plan to meet with your teams each week and an hour to participate in the meeting with your colleagues from across the country. Please make sure that you are able to participate fully by having video available so we can see your faces! It makes the sessions much more engaging for everyone.

If anyone is a super high achiever and planning on meeting with their teams before our scheduled coach - mentor session next week please feel free to reach out to me for a quick individual session ahead of time.

Good luck and I will see everyone next Thursday at 3pm!
