Week 6 – Preparing for the Refresh Workshop

Guiding & Coaching a 100-Day Challenge team (Team Coach) Week 6 – Preparing for the Refresh Workshop

Week 6

Preparing for the Refresh Workshop

 The Refresh Workshop is a structured opportunity to pause, reflect, recharge, and pivot (if needed). It is a chance to recommit to the 100-day goal. And if good progress is being made, it is time to kick–off the thinking and the planning for sustaining the impact beyond the 100 days. 

This week, you are preparing everyone else to participate in the Workshop. You have three small tasks: 

Three Tasks This Week

Meet the Challenge Strategist and Team Leader

Meet with the Challenge Strategist and Team Leader.  Discuss the objectives of the Workshop and, together, consider the following things:

  • How well is the team doing against the plan? 
  • How well is the team agreement holding up? 
  • Aside from the Challenge Strategist, are there other leaders we may want to invite to participate in the latter part of the workshop?
  • Timing and venue for the workshop?

To be ready for this meeting, please go over the Learning Deep Dive: Overview of the Refresh Workshop

Prepare Your Mentimeter survey

Download the workshop feedback survey to print, or create a Mentimeter to collect the feedback. Please review My Mentimeter Learning Deep Dive if you have trouble creating the Meni survey.

Workshop Feedback Survey
Check on Workshop Logistics

Ensure that all your logistic arrangements are running smoothly:

  • Invitations to the team and other leaders (for the last part). These could be sent from the Challenge Strategist.
  • Projector 
  • Flip charts and post-it notes – check if you have enough for the team to use, and also for your templates.

Thought starter reflection questions

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.
