Engagement isn’t the goal - progress is.

In this episode, Shana shares the Progress Wheel, a simple framework for helping members not only take action when they first join a program or community, but continue making progress long after they get started.


In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why progress matters more than engagement when it comes to keeping members involved
  • The five parts of the Progress Wheel
  • Why having a clear purpose helps people understand what they are working toward
  • How to give members a clear path without overwhelming them with the entire journey
  • Why focusing on the best next step can help members take action


Is your purpose clear? Do your members know their next step? Are they taking action? Can they see their progress? And are you giving that progress the attention it deserves?

When people can see that they’re moving forward and when that progress is recognized and connected back to the bigger purpose, it becomes much easier to keep the momentum going.
