You’ve completed the After Action 2024 Workshop!

Final recap and a request for feedback

Just a reminder to please fill out the After Action survey before the end of the week. We'd greatly appreciate your feedback!

Friends –

We did it! We made it to the end of the After Action 2024 Workshop. Thank you so much for being here, and for taking this intentional time to focus on yourself. As we look ahead to 2025, making sure we’re ready to handle the work will be as important as the work itself.

To recap where we’ve been over the past 5 weeks:

• We started this journey with a RESET from the 2024 campaign, where we took time to process, rest, and heal.

• Then we made an effort to RECALIBRATE ourselves by finding balance, practicing mindfulness, and making sure we don’t burnout.

• For Thanksgiving week, we reminded each other to RECONNECT with our people and practice gratitude.

• Last week we helped RESTORE each other and refill our cups, with breathing techniques, motivational real-talk, and a deep-dive on our personal values.

• And finally, we’ve ended the workshop with an effort to REJUVENATE ourselves for the work ahead, with lessons from ancient philosophy and wisdom from today’s today’s campaign professionals and leaders.

Through it all, we have supported each other in our commitment to the critical work we do, and we have recognized that sustaining in this work requires intentional effort. Taking a breath, resting your mind and body, finding balance, knowing your why – these are not nice-to-haves; they are fundamental necessities for impact. We hope this workshop has given you the tools you need to not just survive in the important work of politics, advocacy, and social change, but to thrive.

Two final items before we close out After Action 2024:

1) If you are interested in periodically receiving information similar to what’s been offered here, reply to this email with a “Yes” and we’ll stay in touch with you.

2) Please give us feedback! We’d love to know what worked, what didn’t, and how we can make this workshop better in the future. We’d be so grateful if you could fill out this short survey by next Friday, December 20.

Also, please note that the After Action 2024 website will remain active, so please feel free to refer back to the materials at any time and share the information with friends and colleagues.

Thank you again for joining the After Action 2024 workshop, and for all the work you have done, and will continue to do, for our country. We are so grateful for all of you.

With deep gratitude and appreciation,

Kelly Burton and Ronnie Cho
