HOMEWORK & ACCOUNTABILITY BUDDIES
Between Sessions
The objective of the Leadership Straight Up is to help gain the skills and habits you need to become an effective leader. The skills and practices you learn in class are meant to be discussed and practiced regularly between sessions.
Because of this, we pair you up with an accountability buddy and give homework that includes one practice from the session to work on throughout the month and conversations to have with your buddy. This increases accountability, and ensures that you develop new beliefs, habits, and actions that help increase your performance
