Like Me! 1. The meetings I attend are predominantly effective. 2. I have attended an ineffective meeting within the last two weeks. 3. I have personally facilitated an effective meeting. 4. I have personally facilitated an ineffective meeting. 5. When I am in charge of a meeting, I spend an equal amount of time planning and preparing as I do attending and facilitating.

SAMPLE AGENDA PURPOSE: To select strategies for achieving our SMART goal.

MEETING NORMS Standards of behavior by which we agree to operate while we are in this group Suggested Topics: Attendance Promptness Equal Opportunity to Participate Interruptions Assignments Decision Making Confidentiality Managing Conflict

Standards of Excellence 1. Groups should address only one topic at a time. 2. Groups should use only one process at a time. 3. Meetings should be interactive and engage balanced participation. 4. Decision-making meetings should engage cognitive conflict. 5. All parties should understand and agree on meeting roles.

DIMENSIONS of SUCCESS RESULTS PROCESS RELATIONSHIP Interaction Associates, LLC

With your Autumn Leaves Buddy:  Which meeting structures are most needed to improve meetings you attend?  What might you do to encourage improvement?

Placemat Collaboration 1. What are 3 critical skills used by effective meeting facilitators? 2. What are 3 challenges that meeting facilitators face? 3. Which challenge do you believe interferes most with effective meetings? 4. What suggestions do you have to address this challenge?

With your group... Share your thoughts. Record your “feathers” from this activity in the center circle. What is your next step as a meeting facilitator?

Just Do It!  Consider an upcoming meeting, and select a team to assist with planning.  Create an agenda for the meeting and chart it on your table easel.  Adhere to the Success Criteria and Rule.

Think, Pair Share... What are you thinking now that you weren’t thinking at the beginning of the evening? How might you implement what you have learned?

The power of the group to produce results is rooted in the quality of the relationships among the participants.

Predict the rough waters and provide time to learn, reflect and shape. Get the people to say, “I helped build it. I feel safe here.” Patrick Dolan
