This last section aims to provide some closure to your experience as a 100-Day Challenge coach and to invite you to continue your learning journey.
Your Experience of Supporting 100-Day Challenges
The experience of supporting 100-Day Challenges often reveals things about ourselves, and at times it inspires shifts in our own attitudes and behaviours.
Please block out an uninterrupted hour to consider these questions:
The reflection questions below offer you a chance to reflect on your own behaviour during the 100 days and the shifts you may have experienced.
Based on some of your answers, we will provide you with resources for continued development.

Opportunities for Mastering 100-Day Challenges
One way to skill up is to become a Challenge Strategist for Ending GBVF 100-Day Challenges. These are convened and hosted by our Convening partners. If you are interested, you can work with them in your district to help them sign up to organise a 100-Day Challenge. Your experience as a 100-Day Team Coach would make you an ideal candidate for skilling up as a Challenge Strategist to support leaders and teams working on these 100-Day Challenges.
Find out more about upcoming cycles of the 100-Day Challenge on the End GBVF Movement website – www.endinggbvf.org.
You can use 100-Day Challenges to inspire innovation and collaboration and to make progress on issues that go beyond gender-based violence in your organisation.
Please review the Deep Dive, Turbocharging Organisational Performance with 100-Day Challenges,for more information on how it would work and where you can find help.
If you have not registered for the Short course with the North West University, but you have successfully supported a 100-Day Challenge and coached the 100-Day team, you have a final opportunity to “register” now.
As long as all your assignments are done, you can still qualify. Let us know if you would like to do that at info@theworldofimpact.org
Make the Learning Programme Better for Future Coaches
We invite you to give us feedback on the program, so we can continue to improve it for future programme participants. Click on the link to answer a handful of questions to help us.
Jot down thoughts on these questions – to the extent they are relevant to your experience at the session:
When did the mood in the event shift from “why are we here?” to “this could be interesting – I am excited to be part of this.” What triggered this shift?
When did you have to go “off script” on the agenda or to change the agenda? What triggered this? What did you adjust? How did it go?
What was most surprising to you at the event?
What new insights did you gain about the issue at hand, and about the way leaders in the system interacted with each other?
Where did the conversation get stuck? What got it unstuck?
How would you characterise the level of trust among participants in the meeting? To what extent did this shift as the meeting progressed? To what do you attribute this shift, if indeed it happened?

These are 100-Day Challenge Mentors.
They did some work before you received the Challenge Note. This included:
Writing the Challenge Note, and making sure that the leaders of all the organisations represented on the team are comfortable with it – and committed to supporting the work of the team
Helping the leaders of these organisation recruit you and your colleagues to the team
Gathering some baseline data and other information that will help you and your teammates set your 100-Day goal and develop your plan.
Making sure all the preparations are made for a successful Lift-Off workshop, when you and your teammates will meet and get your 100-Day Challenge started. This includes venue, facilitation support, food, swags, comms, travel arrangements and whatever else is needed.
Mentors will participate in all or part of the Lift-Off Workshop, mostly at the start to provide context and answer questions, and at the end to give you and your teammates feedback about the goal and plan you develop.
During the 100 days following the Lift-Off Workshop, here’s what the Mentors will do:
They will check in every two weeks with the team leaders to see how the team is doing and what support they and the team need.
They will keep other organisational leaders informed and engaged during the 100 days, and pull them in to help as needed.
They will participate in the last part of the Refuelling Workshop, halfway through the 100 days, to see what additional support the team needs, and to begin to plan with the team for sustainability and scale-up.
They will work with the team at the Sustainability Workshop to finalise recommendations on sustaining the results and building on the work of the team.
