# 0: Kickoff & Onboarding

## Pre-session

- Review Session 0 agenda and your intro talking points
- Be ready to introduce yourself and your studio's journey

## **What happens in session**

This is the full cohort's orientation to the program. Participants do introductions, learn about the program structure, build initial community agreements, and get the Power Flower homework.


:::info
A theme we want to emphasize (based on feedback from Cohort 5) is: "friction is part of the work." It's to be expected, and is not something to fear or avoid.

### :eyes: **Your role during session**

- You're introduced and matched with your studio
- Observe your studio during introductions - who talks, who doesn't, what pain points do they talk about?
- Participate in community agreements drafting - you are ***part of the community!***


### **👆Your role after session**

- Connect and chat with your studio in their Slack channel(s)
- Make sure they understand the Power Flower homework (especially that it is a private, individual reflection, and no one else will see it)
- Note any first impressions to share at the PS check-in


### :triangular_flag_on_post: **Red flags to watch for**

- One person from the studio dominates introductions or positions themselves as the main character
- Team members who seem checked out already


### :hammer_and_wrench: **Tools introduced**

- Power Flower (homework, private)
- __[Community agreements](https://publish.obsidian.md/baby-ghosts-corp-docs/Public/Policies/Loving+Justice)__ (Miro, collective)
