How can you use the Mile Markers to make a difference for yourself and your team?
Here are a few ideas to help you put them into action:

✅ Staff Meetings

  • Start team meetings with a quick 2–3 minute discussion based on the Mile Marker.
  • Use it as a check-in: "How does this apply to what we’re doing?" or "What’s one thing we can try?"
  • Reflect on the quote – “What is one action I can take based on the message of this quote?”

✅ Personal Journals

  • Reflect each week: "Where did I see this Mile Marker in action?"
  • "What could I do differently next week?"

✅ Weekly Planning

  • Set a small, achievable goal inspired by the Mile Marker when you plan your week.
  • Example: Add a stakeholder call if the focus is "Connection and Collaboration."

✅ Team Check-Ins

  • Bring the Mile Marker into your regular check-ins:
    "How are we applying this idea in our projects or partnerships?"

✅ Email or Teams Reflections

  • Respond to the weekly Mile Marker email or post a quick takeaway in a team space.
  • Share wins, lessons learned, or questions sparked by the Mile Marker.

✅ Peer Accountability

  • Pair up with a colleague. Once a month, check in:
    "Which Mile Marker challenged me?"
    "What action did I take?"

✅ Recognition Moments

  • Celebrate when you or a teammate applies a Mile Marker well—big or small wins count!

This is your journey. These Mile Markers are just guideposts.

You decide how far you take them—and how much you grow along the way.

 

Pick one or two ways to engage each week. Keep it simple, consistent, and meaningful.

We’re moving forward together, one Mile Marker at a time. 🚗
