Goals & Outcomes
Agenda & Activities
Pre-event Consult (30 minutes) The team leader and the facilitator review the group information and align on outcomes to ensure a successful program.
Welcome & Warm-Ups (10 minutes) Atlanta Challenge staff welcome participants and set expectations and ground rules for the day’s events. We then lead a warm-up activity that breaks the ice and gets the group interacting.
Opening Teamwork Challenge (10-20 minutes) Teams engage in an activity that highlights how communication, assumptions, emotional reactions, and team dynamics affect the overall environment of the group.
The Team Environment (20-30 minutes) The team explores how stress, frustration, negativity, and unresolved tension have impacted the team’s culture over time. Through guided discussion and reflection, the group identifies behaviors and communication patterns that either strengthen or damage the team environment.
The RESPECT Charter (30 minutes) The group evaluates the current team environment in these essential areas and identifies practical ways to improve the culture of the team.
- Relationships: appreciating everyone on the team.
- Expectations: what is appropriate on the team.
- Support: creating a supportive and respectful environment.
- Promises: holding each other accountable positively.
- Empathy: seeing situations through each other’s eyes.
- Communication: open, honest, and constructive.
- Trust: knowing everyone has the best of intentions
Team Intervention (30 minutes) Typically there are one or two unresolved friction points at the heart of the team’s tension. Through a guided and respectful process, the group addresses difficult dynamics, improves understanding, and creates the healing and closure needed to move forward together.
Team Commitment (60 minutes) The group discusses a plan for improving the team dynamic and supporting each other in that commitment over the next 30 days.
Final Teamwork Challenge (10-15 minutes) Teams apply the lessons and agreements developed throughout the workshop in a hands-on challenge that requires collaboration, communication, and mutual support.
Closing Debrief & Wrap-up (10 minutes) The group reflects on key insights and discusses practical ways to rebuild a healthier, more respectful team environment moving forward.
