Week Three
Week Three
Solo Meeting How To:
Welcome & Grounding 15 Mins
Your team can do this however you wish!
Welcome Options: A wacky would you rather, what is your inner weather report today, something you are grateful for this week…
Grounding Options: We suggest some sort of grounding, which can be a reading, some breathing, guided meditation or anything to allow everyone to land into the meeting. See suggestions below.
READING: Who's to Say
Who's to say the effort to be real isn't the beginning of wings?
Who's to say that the budding of wings from the ribs of small birds doesn't begin with the impulse within them to live? Who's to say that the butterfly breaking through its cocoon isn't the result of its being tired of living in a tight weave of its own making?
Who's to say that the migration of flamingoes from South America to Africa doesn't begin with a yearning to eat the yellow ribbon that keeps lining the horizon?
And who's to say the color of passion doesn't line our faces the instant we grow tired of living in a tight cocoon of our own making? Who's to say the journey to love doesn't begin the instant we give voice to that loneliness that no one wants to hear? Who's to say the journey to peace doesn't sprout like a small wing the instant we let our feelings find their place in the world?
In truth, every effort that is allowed its full beat within will ripple as a birth of some kind in the world.
Change Check-In: 45 - 60 Mins
Step One: Reflect a change that is up for you. Something you feel comfortable talking about with a group. Choose something you would like to explore or get feedback on.
Step Two: Take 5 minutes to think/ take notes on this change in the Check-in format (see below)
Step Three: If your team is larger than 7 we recommend splitting into 2 groups so that everyone has ample time to share.
Step Four: Share your Change Check-in. Remember not to spend too much time on the story of what the change is but rather more time on the “Why this matters/ what is important about this change to me”. This is sharing what is under the surface of this experience for you.
Step Five: If the person is open to feedback, then the group can give the sharer feedback. Remember helpful feedback is sharing how you feel with this person now, anything you noticed about their share, curiosities you may have, or shared emotional experiences. Feedback is not advice or long stories about the same thing that happened in your life. “I heard ___ in your share. I also feel the same way”
If the person wants advice they can specifically ask for that;)
Step Six: How do you feel now that you have shared? Big breath! Next persons turn.
