Many professionals wonder, “What happens during a We&Co Huddle meeting?” Today we’re diving deep into the heart of our Huddle meetings: the goal-setting portion. If you’ve ever been to a We&Co Huddle, you know just how transformative this segment can be. But for those new to our community, buckle up! You’re in for an enlightening ride.

Huddles: Goal-Setting and Beyond

The Birth of We&Co: Networking Groups in a Pandemic

We&Co was born out of the challenges of COVID-19. As professionals worldwide grappled with isolation and the sudden shift to remote work, there was a palpable need for connection and collaboration. We&Co emerged as a beacon of hope, a platform designed to address the needs and priorities of professionals in these trying times.

According to a study by Stanford University, 42% of the U.S. labor force was working from home full-time during the pandemic.

Huddle Meetings: The Heartbeat of We&Co Networking Groups

At its core, a Huddle is a gathering of like-minded professionals. But it’s more than just a meeting. It’s a space for growth, learning, and most importantly, goal-setting. These meetings are designed to foster collaboration, share insights, and set clear, actionable goals for each member. This not only ensures engagement but contributes towards each member’s success.

The Huddle Approach: Why Goal-Setting Matters in Networking

The Power of Goal-Setting in Networking Groups

Goals give direction. They provide a roadmap for where we want to go and how we plan to get there. In the context of networking groups, they help members align their professional aspirations with actionable steps. By setting goals, we challenge ourselves to grow, learn, and achieve more than we ever thought possible.

Making Huddle Goals Measurable and Trackable

Every goal set by a member during a Huddle must be both measurable and trackable. This ensures that members can gauge their progress and make necessary adjustments along the way. It’s not just about setting a goal; it’s about setting a goal you can see, measure, and achieve.

According to Forbes, setting specific and measurable goals leads to a 10-25% improvement in performance when compared to setting no goals or “do your best” goals.

Huddle Accountability: Making Goal-Setting Stick

The Role of Accountability in Huddle Goal-Setting

Once a goal is set, the next step is ensuring you stick to it. That’s where accountability measures come into play. By holding each other accountable, Huddle members foster a supportive environment where everyone is motivated to achieve their best. It’s not just about setting the goal; it’s about making sure you see it through to the end.

Tracking Huddle Goals on the We&Co Online Platform

Our customized core platform is a game-changer. Not only does it allow members to track their goals, but it also provides a space for members to share their progress, challenges, and successes with the rest of the community. This digital space becomes a hub of motivation, inspiration, and accountability, ensuring that every member has the tools they need to succeed.

Huddle Accountability Measures: Making Goal-Setting Fun

Setting accountability measures is key after each member sets their goal. An accountability measure is not supposed to be a punishment per se, it serves as motivation for each member to actually hit their goal before the next Huddle meeting. Here are some examples of accountability measures members have used in the past:

1. Coffee for the Group: A Huddle Goal-Setting Reward

Missed a goal? No worries! Make it up by treating your Huddle members to a cup of joe. It’s a delightful way to acknowledge the slip and recommit to your objectives. Plus, who can resist the aroma of freshly brewed coffee?

2. Huddle Achievements: Social Media Shoutouts and More

Celebrate a member’s achievement or give them a nudge with a social media shoutout. It’s a modern-day pat on the back! By publicly acknowledging and celebrating each other’s successes, we create a culture of appreciation and motivation.

3. Bagels for Everyone: A Delicious Huddle Goal-Setting Incentive

Who doesn’t love a good bagel? If you need a little extra push, promise to bring bagels for everyone at the next meeting. It’s a delicious incentive to stay on track.

FUN FACT: Bagels, with their circular shape, are often seen as a symbol of continuity and can be a fun metaphor for ongoing commitment and effort.

Beyond Networking: The We&Co Community Vision

We’re always looking for ways to improve and innovate, ensuring that our members have the best possible experience. Fact 4: Networking is essential for career growth.
