COJOURN AT A GLANCE
Choose what matters
Both partners identify their own meaningful personal or professional goals.
Partner for accountability
Each person is paired with a colleague for weekly check-ins over the program (typically 12-weeks)
​Apply the Formula
Participants learn to apply the 8 Core Components of CoJourn, the research-backed formula for creating more connection and sustainable follow-through.
Make consistent progress
The simple but powerful framework supports small wins and sustained forward momentum.
Small wins, celebrated consistently, create lasting momentum.
Designed to fit your organization
CoJourn provides structured support that fits into people’s schedules — not on top of them.
12-Week Cohort Programs*(Core Program)
The optimal timeframe to build relationships and meaningful progress
Week 0: employees are trained in the 8 Core Components, and the structure of CoJourn. Participants are paired up and guided through how to select an overall theme for the program.
Week 1-12: partners meet for 30 minutes once a week, using the CoJourn 'check-in structure.' Weekly emails support the process with timely tips, reminders, and encouragement.
Week 6: facilitated mid-point check-ins to build more community within the group, share successes, reflect and ask questions from the CoJourn team.
Weeks 12: facilitated closing celebration to reflect on the full program and celebrate successes.
*program timing can be adapted to meet your team's needs
Additional Options:
Workshops & trainings:
Focused sessions on accountability, active listening, goal-setting, or custom topics designed for your organization.
Custom Topic-Focused Programs
Custom-tailored programs focused on specific topics are also a great way to offer structure for employees or groups with aligned interests.
Past examples include: CoJourn for climate action, racial justice, mindfulness, or any important practice that could use more accountability and follow-through.
Apply CoJourn to your top priorities:
Employee wellbeing & mental health
Hybrid and remote connection
Culture and engagement
DEIB and belonging initiatives

What Participants Are Saying
Being a remote worker who's split across projects and teams can be very isolating. CoJourn helped me feel less isolated and more connected. This program provided a nice structure for mutual accountability that felt supportive rather than punitive. It also helped me develop more compassion for myself with regard to goal-setting and task completion.
