A:
Format:

1. Make sure you have a Gmail account.

3. Use a separate document for each exercise unless otherwise advised.

   Note: Some Action Steps will come in the form of downloadable templates.

Submission:

1. Once completed, click the Share button at the top of your document, and share it with us at [email protected]. Make sure to give us editing privileges so that we can provide feedback on your work.

2. Be specific about which section/s you need us to provide feedback on.

3. Google Drive gives you the option to “notify recipients”. Just select the notify option and share your work with us. Use this option to send us an email, and include any questions you may have on the exercise.

4. In each Action Step on the TBD site follow the instructions to paste the link to your shared Google Doc/Sheet and click “Submit”.

Q: When are Action Steps supposed to be completed? Before or after the Group Session?

A: You are not expected to complete all your Action Steps by Weekly Group Session. Much of this work is iterative and you’ll be building on it over time to identify and reach your goals.

Q: What happens in the Group Session?

A:  In the Group Session, we’ll review your progress and ensure you’re moving in the right direction, and be sure you evolve and iterate as quickly as possible. We’ll see what your tendencies are, what you're drawn to focusing on vs what you need to spend more time on.

Q: How do I access the Group Session Zoom Call?

A: You will receive an email before the Group Session containing the Zoom information you need to join the conversation. You will also be invited to a calendar event containing all the information you need so don't forget to accept the invite.

Q: How do I use Zoom?

A: Check out these Zoom "How To" tutorials for more information on how to get the most value out of your Q&A sessions. Learn about video sharing, chat options, audio and video settings, and much more.

Q: How much time should I put aside for the program?

A: This will vary person to person, lesson to lesson.  We find our clients put aside 3 - 10 hours each week to work on their Action Steps. The amount of time spent on your work depends on what exercises you want to focus more on and the amount of detail that you want to go into.

Q: What are the benefits of joining the Thrive By Design Facebook Group?

A: There are certain lessons only administered in the facebook group. We use this private Facebook Group to share assignments, enhancements to modules and action steps, as well as additional resources. They are also tasks we will ask you to submit in Facebook.

Q: Can I jump ahead to the next module?

A: Once you’ve completed a module by completing action steps and the module summary that will open up the next module. Keep in mind this work is iterative. You are not expected to fully complete every action step BUT you will need to at least submit some form of progress.
