Your Program Engagement Life-Cycle (Ep 11)

In this episode of the Rave Results podcast, I’m diving into the engagement lifecycle of group programs. We’ll explore how student engagement evolves from initial excitement to potential drop-off points, and I’ll share strategies for keeping that interest alive throughout the program.I’ll explain why shorter programs often maintain higher engagement levels due to their sprint-like nature, compared to longer, marathon-like programs.
