A Guideline for Prestarts

How many times have you sat in a prestart and left feeling drained before you’ve even picked up the first tool for the day? It’s fair to say that prestarts have the potential to be pretty dry at the best of times with no specific overall goal or direction. The end result? A team of people that are just coming to work for the dollar. That’s where this guide comes in.

We’ve produced this prestart guide to help leaders create engaging and memorable prestarts for their teams. The guide does this by prompting you to:

• Reflect on the previous day
• Create clear communications
• Activate your team with direction
• Motivate your team

A post-prestart reflection checklist will then assist you in collating data to assess your prestart’s effectiveness, engagement levels and areas for improvement.

In purchasing this guide you’ll receive two downloadable PDFs. The guide and instruction booklet contains valuable information about the structure, intent and elements of a prestart. It also includes a public speaking and facilitation guide. The template itself is a three-page document designed to be printed and filled out by hand daily or completed digitally and saved accordingly.
