Plenty of strong projects end at the presentation. The difference between a capstone that becomes practice and one that becomes a slide deck is a plan sized to the person carrying it. This session closes the design arc by making each participant commit to first steps they can take with the authority, time, and resources they really have.
In this session you will:
- Set early actions you can complete in the first 30 days after the program
- Match the plan to your workload and the school calendar
- Name the resources you have and the ones you still need to ask for
- Define where your leadership role ends and who you need alongside you
From here the program shifts to its final arc, building support, communicating impact, and sustaining leadership beyond the cohort.
