Week minus 1 – Getting ready to facilitate the Start-up Workshop
Week Minus 1
Getting Yourself Ready for the Start-up Workshop
You are one week away from Day 0. It is time to get ready to facilitate the most important part of the 100-Day Challenge experience: the Start-Up Workshop.
A successful Start-Up Workshop accounts for at least 50% of the overall success of the 100-Day Challenge. With your help, the group of people invited to participate will become a high-performing team by the end of the Start-Up Workshop.
Here are the things we suggest you do to get ready for the Workshop.
Your Tasks This Week
Leftover Work
Finish any leftover work from the week prior: recruiting the team; getting the Challenge Note finalised and shared with the team, and making sure the venue is booked.
Learn to Facilitate the Start-up
Learn how to facilitate the main sections of the Start-Up Workshop. As you saw in the Overview of the Workshop Learning Deep Dive last week, these include:
Understanding our 100-Day Challenge
Set our 100-Day Goal
Shaping our Team Agreement
Develping our 100-Day Work Plan
There is a Learning Deep Dive this week on each of these four topics, as well as one on a fifth agenda item:
Feedback and Close-out.
Please take the time to review these Learning Deep Dives before the Workshop. If you have questions, please post these on the WhatsApp group, or join Ask a Guru call at the end of the week.
Final Preparations
Prepare and/or download Workshop templates and other documents, and go over the venue’s logistics. For detailed guidance, see the Learning Deep Dive: Final Preparations for the Start-Up Workshop.
Facilitation documents
Before you go through the Learning Deep Dives, it would help to have the slide pack printed next to you. You will have to customise the slides with your examples. The Slide Pack will open as google slides and then you can download and customise it. It is a big file because the videos are embedded. If the video’s did not download you can download it under the Learning Deep Dive – Final preparations for the Start-up Workshop.
The facilitation guide (short “crib notes” on what to say in each section) is also provided.
