Overview of the Refresh Workshop

Overview of the Refresh Workshop

The Refresh Workshop is a critical step to re-inject energy and commitment into the 100-Day Team, and it is an opportunity for the Team to step back and re-examine their 100-Day Goal, 100-Day Plan and Team Agreement in light of the experience of the previous 50 days.

What Success Looks Like at the End of the Workshop

Team members are energised for the second part of the 100-Day Challenge, with fresh ideas, more confidence, and new insights on working together in the next 50 days. They are also beginning to think about ways to sustain the gains that will have been made by the end of the 100 days.

Prepare Yourself for the Workshop

You can do a briefing session with the Coach just before the Workshop or even after you arrive and while the Team is working on some of their sessions. The Coach might advise you on areas to encourage, and areas to push back on. 

Remember to be positive and encouraging and to ask how you can help the Team. By now, you will know if the team is likely to be in a good place or not, based on your conversation with the Coach as well as the way the workshop is progressing. Ask the Coach to give you some highlights of what to expect.

If there is bad news, such as the Team needing to make their 100-Day Goal less ambitious, it is important to hear that from the Coach so you know in advance and to get some advice on how to react. Discuss with the Coach where it is useful to push back, and where it is best to back off.  

Debrief with the Coach and Team Leader after the Workshop

Set up a time to talk with the Coach and Team Leader, a few days after the Workshop, to debrief and discuss the way forward. Here are things to go over:

  • Impressions and takeaways from the Workshop
  • Initial ideas related to sustaining and scaling, especially as they relate to things that can be done in the next 50 days.
  • Steps to engage other leaders in preparing for Scale-up Workshop
  • Key messages to communicate to other leaders so they remain engaged and ready to support the Team.
