# Naming the Challenges

Tags: Prep-work

Date: February 18, 2022

Deadline: February 16, 2022

Description: We’ve committed to courage, this is where we bring it to life.

In this session, we’ll use a facilitated framework to address the top three challenges the team has chosen as the most impactful.

Tasks: Prep-work:
1. Throughout the retreat until Feb 16th, use the EasyRetro platform to share your answers to the following questions:

   * What questions do we not have sufficient answers to?
   * What are we not talking about and should be, as a team?

2. Between February 16th and 18th, vote on the 3 topics you believe will most likely get in our way later if we don’t discuss them now.

After the session
1. Please fill out the feedback form 🎁

> *"Sometimes we're afraid to name experiences or feelings because we think naming gives them power. Let me dispel that myth now with 400.000 pieces of data and 20 years of research. When we name and own hard things, it doesn’t give them power; it gives us the power to effect change and achieve our purpose."* - [Dr Brené Brown](https://brenebrown.com/about/)

*The first step towards a solution is naming the problem. Take a few minutes and reflect on what issues or questions we, as a team, should be talking about and haven’t yet.*

*Click on the link below and add as many topics/cards as you want, with transparency and clarity (your input will be anonymous), throughout the retreat until Feb 16th.*
