Purpose

Upgrade your team’s weekly sync from a passive status update into a results-driven PowerHour that drives momentum and clarity.

Background

We’ve all sat through status meetings that feel like a waste of time.

Everyone reports what they did, there’s some vague conversation about progress, and no one leaves with a clear next step.

That’s not just boring—it’s expensive and ineffective.

In Module 6, Lesson 2 of the Accelerator, we introduce the concept of the PowerHour—a weekly meeting format designed to align your team, clear roadblocks, and focus execution around what matters most.

A PowerHour isn’t about talking—it’s about moving forward.

Ingredients

• A consistent meeting time and rhythm (weekly, 60 minutes max)

• A shared weekly planning template

• Clear focus on priorities, progress, blockers, and momentum

• A dashboard that pulls in live data from your projects, people, and content

Steps to Implement

1. Start with Celebration

   • Open the meeting with a quick round of wins.

   • This boosts morale and reminds the team of recent progress.

2. Review Priority Progress

   • Walk through the Top 3 Priorities.

   • For each, ask: What’s the next milestone? Any blockers?

3. Update Projects and Tasks

   • Check for stalled projects or overdue activities.

   • Use this time to reassign, remove, or reset expectations.

4. Follow Up on People and Partnerships

   • Revisit key relationships and next check-ins.

   • Confirm who’s responsible for outreach and follow-up.

5. Check Promotion and Content Calendars

   • Briefly review any launches or scheduled posts for the week.

   • Make sure your promotional machine is still humming.

6. Assign Actions and Close with Intention

   • Every person leaves with 3–5 actions for the week.

   • Set the date for the next sync and confirm any check-ins before then.

Preparation Notes

• Keep the meeting fast-paced and structured—this isn’t a time for rambling.

• Use a central dashboard (like Notion) to keep all updates in one place.

• Limit the group size to those actively involved in current projects.

• Try co-hosting the meeting with a project lead or operator to keep things tight.

When done right, your weekly sync becomes more than a meeting—it becomes the heartbeat of your business. A PowerHour keeps your team aligned, accountable, and moving forward together. No fluff. Just progress.
