Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: ways to receive meeting feedback at close?

[Rob Sandelin (floriferous]

Rather than do this at the end of the meeting while some people are anxious
to do other things try a 10 minute brainstorm at the beginning. Ask for two
things, things that are going well, things that could be improved. Make a
list, then act on it as needed.

Subject: [C-L]_ ways to receive meeting feedback at close?


Hi, all--

New member here: Arielle, new Equity member with the forming Belfast
Cohousing & Ecovillage in Maine (and we're on a roll!).  I'm very excited to
learn from all of you and join you in this journey.

For now, though, a relatively straightforward question: Can anyone suggest
successful ways to receive quick feedback at the end of a business (general
or Equity, in our case) meeting?  We normally only have 5-15 mins for this
bit, and have been doing "round robin" quick soundbyte feedback, but we've
found that this mostly garners "great job!, nice meeting!" etc.  I'm
co-facilitating for the first time in a couple weeks and would like to try
something new.  Something that both gets honest response AND ends the
meeting on a soulful note, ideally.

Thanks!
Arielle
