What's next for you?
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 first topic offers you a chance to reflect on your own behaviour during the 100 days and the shifts you may have experienced. And it offers you some resources for continued development.
As you reflect on your demeanour and behaviour in the past 30 days, are there things that you recall that were new or surprising?
The second topic invites you to continue to up skill yourself as a coach, especially if you see the opportunity to use 100-Day Challenges to make improvements in your own organisation.
Where did you feel stretched and uncomfortable? How did you grow and develop as you went through these moments?
In the third topic, we invite you to give us feedback on the program, so we can continue to improve on it.
What new skills did you develop?
Opportunities for Mastering 100-Day Challenges
Leaders can use 30-Day and 100-Day Challenges to inspire innovation and collaboration and to make progress on issues that go beyond gender-based violence in your organisation. The notes below provide some examples of these.
As a 100-Day Challenge Coach, you can invest in building your own capabilities to support leaders in doing this work. After the examples below, we provide ways you can do that.
Government agencies have used this approach to improve service delivery and to accelerate progress towards long term visions and goals. The Government Accelerators Program of the UAE, for example, has 100-Day Challenges as its core philosophy and approach.
Non-profit organisations have used 100-Day Challenges to jump-start and accelerate progress on their programs. This was done in a variety of sectors and countries, including homelessness in the US, health care in the UK, and education in Lebanon.
Private sector corporations have used 100-Day Challenges to experiment with new ways to increase revenue, reduce costs, develop new products, and acquire new customer segments. Perhaps the most dramatic example of this took place in an insurance company in the US, where a highly profitable $3 billion new business line was built from the ground up, using 100-Day Challenges.
The video below describes this in more detail, including how 100-Day Challenge projects got integrated into the strategy and operational planning cycle of a global insurance company.
The World of Impact team has been at the core of all the examples mentioned above. There are WOI training programs especially tailored to support leaders interested in adopting and adapting the 100-Day Challenge approach to strengthen the culture of collaboration, innovation, and execution in their organisations.

Become a 100-Day Challenge Strategist
One way to skill up is to become an Challenge Strategist for Ending GBVF 100-Day Challenges. In 2025, several waves of these Challenges will be launched. These will be convened and hosted in either municipalities, courts, or TVETs. If you are interested, you can work with any or all these institutions 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 an Challenge Strategist to support leaders and teams working on these 100-Day Challenges.
Becoming a 100-Day Challenge Challenge Strategist involves a more extensive training program, including face to face sessions, and it is offers the possibility of getting certified by North-West University.
North-West University Certification
The management department at North-West University has adopted this program as one of its mini-courses on leadership and project management. You will be eligible to receive a certificate of participation from the University if you complete the assignments at the end of each guidance note.
The mini-course certificate can be used for credit towards a master’s degree in management from the University. A registration fee of R250 is required to enrol in the certification program. Please reach out to us at info@theworldofimpact.org if you’d like to enrol.
