No 3. The 5 C’s you will never get lost! Page I am sorry, I’m a stranger here myself

Page Evolve’s 5 C’s CONTRIBUTION: People need varied and meaningful ways to contribute and are supported with the necessary capability (resources and information) to do so. CHOICE People are naturally curious and enjoy acquiring and exploring new ideas and information. They like to have a CHOICE about when, how and where they do this. CONNECTION: People enjoy having genuine opportunities to CONNECT with others, exchange thoughts, grow, evolve and improve. CLARITY Participants derive CLARITY from clear communication of the meeting objectives, process and intended outcomes. CONTINTUITY Meetings are part of a process, which, through continuing communication, can lead to the development, maintenance and strengthening of authentic long-term relationships between participants. It is critical to celebrate events and milestones in that relationship.

So what have participants learnt? Their words.... This course can help us build stronger links across our organisation. This is needed for the overall strategic planning and delivery of our organisations services. That we have fabulous resources to help us, especially making it clear to us the importance of pinning down the negotiables It is amazing the large number of methods we have learned about and practiced. I am relieved that I don’t have to facilitate meetings… there are better options out there that I now know about and I can still have a valuable role to play! I think the 5 C’s are incredibly valuable. It is great that we went through the actual processes of running consultations and didn’t just talk about them. That we can draw on all these people ... there are great networking opportunities we can take advantage of. We learned to work as a team. I learned the importance of pacing a meeting, as you did with the training course. I liked how you provided topic breaks and asked interesting questions so we stayed focused and involved – you walked your talk! Page
