Individual: As a personal reflection, please reflect on how you would as a facilitator meet the individual needs of a specialty group.
Write a summary of your observations, feelings and experience from the groups activity.
Were there any times that you found it easy or difficult to connect to your members?
Were there times you felt heard/not heard in your group?
Was this a positive/negative/neutral experience for you?
What changes could you offer your group to improve the experience for the next time you meet?
Discuss the leadership of the group and what you might change for next time. If you were the leader this week, consider your own facilitation skills or if you were a participant, consider your own role within the experience. Share these thoughts for improvement with your group members prior to meeting again. Include these in your reflection and submit with the recording link.
