Here are some general expectations: To do the program at a level of excellence, you should plan to spend 1-2 hours of screen time per week on the teachings and tools available to you. This provides prioritized time to read, capture video teachings, track your progress, and socially interact with other “360 Visioneers” Your frequency of meeting with a mentor will be established mutually with your mentor. You should expect to devote about 1 hour every other week to this relationship. If you pursue volunteer/service opportunities, you will be making a time commitment to these, at your discretion and for whatever amount of time you prefer.
