Day 18 – facilitating a half-day team meeting

Today is a follow-up day, yet also a continuation of last week's team meeting. As the facilitator you need to remember what went well, and areas of improvement from last week's meeting. Conduct yourself accordingly.

The following is a checklist of what you will need to facilitate the half-day team meeting and a guide to what order you should run the day.

Items you will need before beginning the meeting include:

• A boardroom style or U style room

• Flip chart and markers for the facilitator

• Masking tape in order to post charts

• Notepads

• Pens and pencils

• Fun gifts for participation, appropriate behavior, and so on

Now that you have all those in place, use the following steps to facilitate the flow of the day:

1. Opening remarks

2. Delegate or find a volunteer to take notes, gather notes, and type up highlights of the day

3. Conduct a review of the last meeting and what went well, with a focus on what you need to do better today to get to a 10

4. An open floor session for comments...
