Praxis Journeys

Praxis Journeys: before they arrive and after they leave.

The weeks that actually decide it.

After a Praxis Live sessionPraxis drafts the weeks after from what your room actually said. You edit them and place them in the journey.

Praxis Journeys is where a program lives before and after the live session. People get short sessions, under fifteen minutes, on the days you choose: a quick recall, a journal prompt, a challenge to try at work, and a conversation with the rest of their cohort. Reminders go out by email. It runs alongside your LMS, not in place of it.

Praxis Journeys starts with a call.

1%

of their day

That’s the whole ask.

Praxis runs on less than 15 minutes per session. You set the cadence: two days a week, three, five. Whatever fits the program. That’s 1% of their day, on a phone they’re already carrying. Or at a desk they’re already sitting.

One day: 1,440 minutesOne session: under 15
That sliver is the ask.

Prime · Before they arrive

People show up ready instead of cold.

A drop or two before the program starts. Here is what one holds:

  • 1

    Meet the cohort

    Who else is coming, so day one doesn't start with strangers.

  • 2

    One question to sit with

    Something they answer now and walk in still thinking about.

  • 3

    A short framing piece

    Why this program, and why now, in a few minutes of reading.

And you get to read what they’re walking in with before you’ve said a word.

What the research says

Trying to answer a few questions before a session, even getting them wrong, helps people learn those points when they come up.

Richland, Kornell and Kao, 2009

What the research says

People who arrive motivated to learn tend to learn and apply more.

Colquitt, LePine and Noe, 2000

Practice · After they leave

A week of Practice, tapped through.

Here is week one after “Leading Through Change,” a two-day offsite for 24 managers. This one runs Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Each drop arrives with an email when it’s ready. Tap a day.

One week, about 24 minutes in all. The bar is the session; the box is fifteen minutes.

Monday · about 10 minutes

A quick recall, and one thing to try.

Two or three questions pull back what the room said, so they're recalling it, not rereading it. Then one small thing to try this week, with when and where they'll do it.

What the research says

Recalling what you learned beats rereading it.

Rowland, 2014

What the research says

Specific “when X happens, I will do Y” plans improve follow-through.

Gollwitzer and Sheeran, 2006

Your Monday drop is ready. About 10 minutes.Email

The cohort is the point

Humans do the meaning-making together.

Prompting one person at a time is easy. What keeps a program alive is the cohort: the people who were in the room with you, trying the same thing this week, posting what happened on Friday’s Wall of Wins, and answering each other’s questions in between.

The platform is the prompt. Life is the lab.

What the research says

Support from peers and supervisors after training is linked to new skills getting used, and peer support carried the most weight.

Hughes, Zajac, Woods and Salas, 2020

  • DP

    Has anyone tried the hard-thing-first opener with a team that's remote?

  • AK

    Yes. I put it in the chat before we turned cameras on. People answered there first.

  • JR

    Stealing that for Thursday.

Works with the room

Use it on its own, or around a Praxis Live session.

  • The same activities keep going. An activity from the room can go into the journey and keep collecting answers for weeks.
  • Plan the weeks from the session. Praxis Live drafts two or three weeks of drops worded from what the room said. You edit them and place them in the journey.

Alongside your LMS

Praxis runs alongside your LMS. Not a replacement. No migration.

Your LMS keeps doing what it does. Learners sign in to their journey on the web, on a phone or at a desk.

Plan the weeks before and after your next program.

Tell us what you’re running and we’ll show you what its journey could look like. Praxis Journeys isn’t part of the 14-day Praxis Live trial, so a call is the way in.
