Agenda & Activities

Respect Survey Before the program, each participant will evaluate the team’s level of trust and respect.
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 fun warm -up activities that break the ice and get the group physically and emotionally involved.
Intro Teamwork Challenge (10-20 minutes) We jump right into the program with a thought-provoking team activity that focuses on the team’s current interactions. This helps the group see and understand what is going on, how it impacts the team, and how important it is to address those issues.
The Teamwork Compass® (15-20 minutes) We lead an interactive conversation about the key ingredients of teamwork, how different team members have a stronger affinity for some of those ingredients, and how to bring them all together to be a healthy team. We use this metaphor throughout the program to increase familiarity with this powerful tool and create a culture of success.
The RESPECT Charter (30 minutes)
Relationships: appreciating everyone on the team.
Expectations: what is appropriate on the team.
Support: creating a safe environment for each other.
Promises: holding each other accountable positively.
Empathy: seeing situations through each others’ eyes.
Communication: open, honest, and constructive.
Trust: knowing everyone has the best of intentions.
Team Coaching (20-30 minutes) The group rates their current level of teamwork in these essential areas and brainstorms several ways to improve. As a team, they commit to the strategy they have agreed upon, holding each other accountable for that commitment for 30 days.
Final Teamwork Challenge (30 minutes) This hands-on activity further develops trust within the team and high- lights where the team needs to focus after the program.
Closing Debrief & Wrap-up Activity (10 minutes) The group acknowledges the day’s accomplishments and incorporates lessons into real life. We wrap up with a meaningful closing activity and team picture.
Post-event Leader Consult (20-30 minutes) The program facilitator will talk with the team leader to share insights and suggestions for maintaining momentum afterward.
