A May in-person check-in reunited DLE members to reflect on the personal and professional goals they declared at the DLE April 7 Meetup, Get Unstuck and Start Moving Forward, held one month earlier.

Members stayed connected during program lulls by exchanging words of encouragement through group chats that were created as ongoing support hubs for staying on track. The frequency of chats has varied week to week, but the openness has remained consistent, with members sharing minor distractions and major obstacles that can derail focus and drain motivation.

One theme has emerged loud and clear: Having accountability partners is a game changer when pursuing bold lifestyle and workstyle changes. The accountability groups continue through June, with another in-person check-in planned to reconnect, compare results, and reignite progress.
