What comes to mind when I say you will be leading the group….
Common Reactions No way You want me to do WHAT? No Problem – I’ve got this!
Creating a great meeting It is not just about the meeting… What happens before and after a meeting is as important as what happens in the meeting
The 3 Ps & Fs of Meetings Preparation • Preparation: Formulate • Process: Facilitate • Progress: Follow up Process Progress (Facilitator U, 2010)
Preparation 1. Pre-meeting preparation 2. Welcome 3. Meeting Action Cycle 4. Closure 5. Follow-up Preparation Process Progress (Facilitator U, 2010)
Pre-meeting preparation • Define objectives: WHAT will we do? • Define process: HOW will we do it? • Initiate communication
Process 1. Pre-meeting preparation 2. Welcome 3. Meeting Action Cycle 4. Closure 5. Follow-up Preparation Process Progress (Facilitator U, 2010)
Process • Welcome • Establish rapport, buy in, and introduce structure • Meeting Action Cycle • How we flow through the agenda • Closure • review decisions, if decisions were made • Facilitate commitment to action if commitments were made • Plan for next meeting • Acknowledge contributors
Conference Calls • If you don’t have a conference call line, there are free services available online. • If you are using a screen-sharing service, make sure it is loaded and works ahead of time. • Start on time, even if everyone isn’t on the call. • Be on time. • Do a quick roll call so that everyone is aware of who is on the line. • Use the mute button strategically. If you are muted for 90% of the time on a call with 5 people, you are not engaged. • Be engaged with each other. You will only get out of this experience, what you put into it.
Introductions (5-10 minutes) • Two Truths and a Lie • In 30 seconds think of two true statements about yourself and one lie • Take turns telling your 2 truths and 1 lie to each other and members of the group determine which one is the lie • Keep points – 1 point if you guess the lie correctly AND 1 point for each person who guesses incorrectly which of your statements is false • Be creative
Discussion (15 minutes) • Name your group • Discuss ground rules for your group • Some food for thought… • Whether, when or how it is okay to interrupt? • How will you keep track of time? Who will keep track? How can you signal that someone is almost out of time? • Who will prep for the meeting? • How will you hold each other accountable for attending and participating? • Will everyone share at each meeting or will you take turns at different meetings? • How long will your meetings take? Will they occur by phone or video conference (or some other method altogether)? • Discuss who will lead calls and • How will you decide whose turn it is? • Is that person in charge of the agenda or will the agenda always stay the same? • Do you like the meeting format to stay the same every time or is that subject to change?
Discussion • Collect the following information: • Name of Group • Members of the group • Ground Rules • When the group will meet every month • Who is going to lead the first call (August)
Individual Development Plans • WHY?? • Writing down a goal increases your motivation and responsibility to achieve it • It provides a structure for your planning • Writing it down will help you know when you achieved your goal • This process allows you to be in control of your own learning • You determine what you need • You determine how to meet those needs • You determine how much time you have to devote to learning
