Proven Method. Lasting Impact.
Different organizations. Different goals. Different starting points. The same outcome: people who finish Next Move know themselves better, move with more confidence, feel more connected, and carry what they learned forward.

What the data shows
Across Next Move programs, participants consistently report increased self-awareness, a sense of being supported throughout, and new practices they can continue to use long after the program ends. For more than eight in ten, that includes real momentum toward a goal that mattered to them.
What organizations report
92% of Waymo participants reported an increased sense of social connection.
"Next Move gave me something I didn't know I was missing — a small group of people who knew what I was working toward and showed up for me every week."
— Pamela Jones, Next Move Professional Leadership Program

A post-program assessment of a pilot with more than 85 first-year Honors participants found measurable improvement across every dimension studied. Participants built stronger supportive relationships, broke goals into manageable steps, and navigated challenges with greater confidence.
"By the end of the program, our first-year Honors students were more connected to each other — and the self-awareness they built gave them a foundation I'd expect to see carry forward throughout their time here."
— Claudia Garcia-Des Lauriers, Director of the Kellogg Honors College, Cal Poly Pomona
The pattern holds
Participants also report something less expected: the openness and trust they practice within their pod tends to extend beyond it. People often find themselves more present and more connected in their relationships outside the program — with friends, family, and people they've just met.
