Secret Doubt Club in a nutshell

• Goal: get to know experiences from other participants to deal with everyday challenges.
• Agenda:
  • 10 minutes for welcome word and reminding formula of the event
  • 40 minutes for breakout session - groups of 4 or 5, max 10 minutes per each
  • 10 minutes for sharing most valuable takeaways (for volunteers)

How to run the breakout session?

1. Kick-off with introductions:

   • Share your name, your "position" within Dare IT (e.g. community member, mentor, mentee, HR consultant, partner), and your specialization path (e.g. PM, Scrum Master, UX design, front-end dev, HR) and go to 2nd point - Icebreaker.

   <aside> 💡 To avoid confusion, plan the order, and let each other know who'll be next to speak. For instance, you can say, “I will start to introduce myself, and after I'll pass on to Maria to introduce herself.”

2. Start with an icebreaker:

   • The purpose of the icebreaker is to get to know each other a little more and to get comfortable with each other.

   • You should each answer one question to get the conversation started:

     #1 breakout session: Who is the fictional character that you have the most in common with?

     #2 breakout session: If you could take a month to travel anywhere, where would you go?

     #3 breakout session: The most interesting fact about me is ________.

3. Move onto conversation:

   • Follow up in the flow of your conversation (after the ice-breaker).
   • If you need some conversation starters, you can each answer and discuss the following questions:
     • What was your biggest challenge at work, recently?
     • What experiences from other participants would you like to hear about?

<aside> ☝ Each breakout session is scheduled for 40 minutes. Time goes quickly, so don't be shy and make sure you all get to say something. 🤗 Be sure to share your experience, not your advice.

<aside> ☝ Important: each of us has a max of 10 minutes for our own challenge. Please, be sure that your challenge it's well defined and not super-complex 🤗

4. What is the most valuable outcome that you're taking from this session? What are you leaving this meeting with? Share 2-3 points in your group, and, if you like, during the closing session to the whole group.
