Summary
Your rigid community calendar is quietly killing your engagement. In this episode, I break down why over-prescriptive programming actually hurts engagement and how to design experiences that balance ritual and variation. I share lessons from my time at bossbabe, explain why generic Q&As and coaching calls quietly fail, and walk through programming formats that are easier to run and more valuable for members. We talk about topic-specific coaching calls, responsive Q&As, socials, co-working sessions, challenges, roundtables, and welcome calls and how each one serves a different member need. I also explain why lower attendance doesn’t always mean lower value and how measuring the right feedback helps you iterate your programming without rebuilding everything from scratch. If you want stronger engagement, better retention, and programming that actually reflects what your members need right now, this episode will help you rethink how you design your calendar.
