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.
