Week Minus 1: Final Touches Before Start-Up
Week Minus 1
Final Touches Before Start-up
The Start-Up Workshop is the most critical event in the 100-Day Challenge. A successful workshop accounts for at least 50% of the challenge’s overall success. This is where a group officially becomes a high-performing team, ready to hit the track.
Next week, you will participate in the Start-Up Workshop. This will be an opportunity to begin to create the enabling environment for the 100-Day Team. So your main task this week is to get in the proper frame of mind for this.
The coach is busy preparing to facilitate the workshop, so you could help them clear the “track” of any remaining hurdles.

Your Essential Tasks This Week
Last week, you did the deep dives on the overview of the Start-up Workshop and your role in it. This week you will go a bit deeper with the two more deeps dives:
GBVF – Do No Harm: You may be interacting with GBV survivors at the Start-Up Workshop and also during the 100 days following that. This Deep Dive will help you avoid inadvertently triggering trauma for survivors.
Creating the Enabling Environment for 100-Day Challenges: This will provide an overall framework for one of your roles as Architect of the 100-Day Challenge. It explains what makes the 100-Day Teams experience unique and why these teams perform at very high levels.
Apart from getting in the right frame of mind, please check with the Coach and make sure that they have reviewed the Deep Dive on Facilitating the Start-up Workshop and are ready to guide the team during the Workshop and also that he is on top of the last-minute preparations for the Workshop:
- Finalisation of the 100-Day Team Members.
- Making sure the team members received the Challenge Note.
- Logistics of the venue
