š” WHY BI-WEEKLY SESSIONS (NOT WEEKLY)?
This structure is intentional:
ā Time to IMPLEMENT between sessions (not just talk about it)
ā You bring real progress/blockers to discuss (not theoretical)
ā Prevents overwhelm (weekly sessions = no time to execute)
ā Builds sustainable habits (learn ā do ā review cycle)
ā Forces accountability (you know you'll be asked "did you do X?")
This structure ensures you're actually MOVING forward, not just planning.
š ļø WHAT YOU'LL DO IN IMPLEMENTATION WEEKS
Depends on your goal, but examples:
If ManualāAutomation:
- Complete specific course modules we identified
- Build practice automation scripts
- Contribute to open-source testing project

If Leadership Path:

If AI Adoption:

Point is: You're DOING, not just learning ABOUT doing.
