IV. Personal Updates • Go-around 3, Updates: • On a scale of 1 (Total Disaster) to 10 (Super Fantastic) tell us first your Ratings - how you feel - about Business, then about Family • Business/Career – why you rated it as # and tell us about your ups and downs in business, job, or project. • Family/Personal – why you rated it as # and more about relationships with spouse, children, partner, or siblings or parents. • Issues to Parking Lot -Look back above and focus on what issues came up and what may merit a discussion or presentation later. Have someone list the Parking Lot issues on a flipchart.
IV. Personal Explorations • Review the Parking Lot list • Prioritize for presentations
V. Sample Presentations • Presenter • Coach • Scribe
Art of Listening • Let presenter lay out problem and what he wants from group • Explore the feelings rather than the logic. Normally a presenter knows his options and his logic but needs to explore his feelings. Echo and amplify his feelings. • Always use “I” or “My understanding” or “My experience”. Never “You” or “your problem is …” or “what you should do…” • Allow the presenter to summarize his analysis and his feelings toward each alternative “solution”
V. Housekeeping & Wrap-up • Name of this AGroup • Frequency of meetings • Who to invite as additional members • Next meeting date • Appoint Moderator, Treasurer, next Meeting Organizer • Web Group medium (Facebook Groups, Yahoogroups, Ning, etc)
V. Housekeeping & Wrap-up • Final Go-around: How I feel about this first AGroup meeting.
