Your Learning Sequence

Group Dynamics

Remember that when you add or lose a member of your group, you have a new group. Embrace the new talents and insights that have come into your group and foster a welcoming space in which all can feel equally heard and valued as they make choices about how to contribute and participate.

Goal-setting and Planning

Set expectations with advocates. Set individual and group goals to plan and achieve great outcomes. Ask your Regional Coordinator about the yearly roadmapping (planning) in which groups engage.

Delegation/Assuming Accountability

Match assignments to readiness of advocates. Vary advocate assignments over time to develop transferable skills and maintain interest and challenge and to build bench strength.

Welcome and Agenda for meeting
