- Who needs to be in the room; are hierarchies an issue? Stakeholders – define Multiple perspectives Learning modalities – visual, verbal, Personalities – Extravert, Introvert Linear, Systemic Big Picture vs. Detail-oriented
- Harold and Maude story about flowers Maude: I should like to change into a sunflower most of all. They're so tall and simple. What flower would you like to be? Harold: I don't know. One of these, maybe. Maude: Why do you say that? Harold: Because they're all alike. Maude: Oooh, but they're *not*. Look. See, some are smaller, some are fatter, some grow to the left, some to the right, some even have lost some petals. All *kinds* of observable differences. You see, Harold, I feel that much of the world's sorrow comes from people who are *this*, [she points to a daisy] Maude: yet allow themselves be treated as *that*. [she gestures to a field of daisies] Maude: [cut to a shot of a field of gravestones in a military cemetery] People are funny….they are not all like me. Different comfort zones, styles of learning

- Stuart to lead
- Present exercise, distribute group/roles; give time limit, give 5 minute warming; share results.
- The meeting is not over when it is over …follow up is key. The facilitator summarizes Does everyone understand next steps, and who is responsible and when? Has everyone been thanked/recognized? Send out something afterwards to re-confirm. Revisit GOALS Would anyone like to share something they will try in the next week? SO…summarize what we have learned – a moment for synthesis and gratitude. SUN? Thanks to VG
