Onboard a new cohort in 48 hours

Here's a training outline. Build it as a draft program in upcoach called "Onboard a new cohort in 48 hours":
one section per day, with a lesson,
worksheet, task list or check-in for each item, using the text and questions word for word.
Questions marked (1 = ..., 5 = ...) are 1-5 scales.
Leave out the live calls for now: I'll add the Events app to the program first and ask you for them after.
Don't publish the program or invite anyone. When you're done, list what you created so I can check it.

Training: Onboard a new cohort in 48 hours
For: Coaches and program operators who run cohort or group programs
Length: 2 days

Day 1: Get set up and say where you're starting
- Lesson: Welcome: what the next 48 hours are for
  Welcome to the cohort. Before session 1 we have two days, and they're for three things: getting you set up so nothing technical gets in the way later, meeting the people you'll work with, and doing one small thing that moves you towards your goal. None of it takes long, and all of it makes session 1 better for you and for everyone else.
  Today: work through the setup list, then fill in the intake. It takes about ten minutes, and your coach reads every answer before the first session. Tomorrow: a 30-minute welcome call with the group, and your first small win.
- Task list: Setup list
  - Add every session date and time to your calendar, with the meeting link in the invite
  - Add the welcome call on day 2 to your calendar
  - Open the meeting link once and check your camera and microphone work
  - Save the program link somewhere you'll find it again
  - Check that messages from the program reach your inbox, not your spam folder
  - Block one hour a week in your calendar for the program's work between sessions
- Worksheet: Intake: where you're starting
  1. What do you want to be different by the end of this program? Write it in one or two sentences.
  2. Where are you today with that, in a few lines?
  3. What have you already tried, and what happened?
  4. What's most likely to get in your way over the next weeks? (For example: a busy month at work, travel, losing momentum after the first weeks.)
  5. Which session dates, if any, can you already see you'll miss?
  6. How do you like to be contacted between sessions, and what should your coach know about how you work best?
- Check-in: Day 1 check-in
  1. How ready do you feel for the program to start? (1 = not at all, 5 = completely)
  2. Have you finished the setup list? (All of it, part of it, not yet)
  3. Is anything stopping you from joining the sessions? If so, what?

Day 2: Meet the group and get a first small win
- Lesson: Meet the group
  You'll spend the next weeks learning with these people, and you'll get more from them once you know who they are. The welcome call is 30 minutes: a two-minute opening from your coach, a round where each person introduces themselves, and a short look at how the program runs week to week.
  Keep your introduction to 30 seconds: your name, what you do, and the one thing you want from the program. Then listen for one person whose goal sounds close to yours, and one whose situation is very different. Those are two people worth talking to before session 1.
- Worksheet: Your 30-second introduction
  1. Your name and what you do, in one sentence.
  2. The one thing you want from this program, in one sentence.
  3. One thing about you that isn't work, if you'd like to share it.
  4. After the call: whose goal sounded closest to yours?
  5. After the call: who would you like to talk to again before session 1, and how will you reach them?
- Lesson: One small win before session 1
  A first step that's finished beats a big plan that isn't. Pick one action towards your goal that you can do in 20 minutes or less, before session 1: send the email you've been putting off, write down the three options you're choosing between, book the conversation you need to have, sketch the first draft.
  Make it small enough that you'll do it today or tomorrow, and specific enough that you'll know when it's done. Then do it, and write down what happened. You'll bring it to session 1.
- Worksheet: Your first small win
  1. What's the one action you'll take before session 1? It should take 20 minutes or less.
  2. When exactly will you do it? (Day and time.)
  3. How will you know it's done?
  4. After you've done it: what happened?
  5. What did you learn from doing it that you didn't know before?
- Check-in: 48-hour check-in
  1. How ready do you feel for session 1 now? (1 = not at all, 5 = completely)
  2. How well do you know the other people in the cohort so far? (1 = not at all, 5 = well)
  3. Did you finish your first small win? (Yes, partly, not yet)
  4. What's one question you'd like answered in session 1?
