WHAT IT DOES: Monthly hour-long coaching sessions offer guided inquiry and instill reflective practices. Intentionality and accountability increase across program teams.
HOW IT WORKS: Teams are formed to develop new ideas. SEED-trained coaches host monthly conference calls to instill effective practices for participants to report progress, renew excitement for their ventures, tackle inevitable obstacles, explore emerging opportunities, set or revise action items, and gauge results against customized success markers.
UNIQUE FEATURES: Programs benefit from an outside, listening ear, and from inquiry that gets them in touch with what they already know. Teams are challenged to keep stretching their imagination to include new possibilities. Progress is tracked against performance markers that are updated monthly.
SAMPLE OF USERS: Applied to all initiatives that engage in the Creative Stretch Workshop. Also used by some programs as a direct follow-through to the action planning done at the end of the SEED Diagnostic.
Read about seven youth development programs that stretched their program designs via Intention Tracking.
"The value of this process has been naming the intention and then adopting a structured process to consider what is needed and hear from a cross-section of staff. There is a curiosity and questioning that is taking place. New voices are emerging, and people are thinking differently."

"It was helpful for us to step back and look at the big goals. We needed someone to schedule the calls and make us sit down and do this. Without the outside influence we would not have sat down—the check up made us focus."
