3. Meeting Format and Host Responsibilities
Structure
This is what's been working for us:
-
1:30-2:00 Welcoming with nibbles and drinks
-
2:00-4:00 Check-in followed by 1st Agenda
-
4:00-6:00 2nd Agenda
-
6:00-6:30 Wine/snacks then Dinner together-- whoever chooses to do so.
Purpose
While we haven't drafted an explicit MISSION statement,
we have agreed we are developing a personal/professional
support group that is meaningful for each of us.
We are also clear that this is not a T-Group, nor is it a task group.
Norms
We've established some norms around setting the agenda
and making our time meaningful:
- Our check-in is seen as a valuable and essential part of our time together.
- People who have a passion/interest they want to present to the group or
would like to see the group engage takes the lead on structuring the agenda
for that part of our meeting. The entire afternoon is available, if needed.
This includes getting out any pre-work that might facilitate the session.
- Meetings are open to present and former NTL members and group
designated invited members.*
- We are clear that this is not a forum for complaining about NTL.
- We hold our counter dependency in abeyance, and go with the design that
has been provided for us.
- First part of our agenda tends to be more professional, while second part
tends to be more personal.
- While we are not a traditional T-Group, openness and self-disclosure and
feedback/confronting differences are effective in our development. We have
found the level of intimacy has increased as self-disclosure has increased
over time.
- We rotate meeting places in an attempt to equalize commute distance.
Host Responsible for Pre/Post Notes
The host is responsible for pre-meeting announcement (invitation, agendas,
directions to their home) and post-notes (brief summary of meeting,
next meeting dates, attendees, including publishing prospective agenda for next meeting.
