I tried to find a good combination between supporting and observing, but this are still skills were I have to grown in the future .. after a couple of sessions we found out who was strong in what and we worked like a real team I also tried to search for nice ideas and tried to evaluate them with ideas from the others…the others interpretive the phenomena in a different way. This gave me the opportunity to learn and think in a different way and to evaluate a new way of thinking.”
