Your Convening Presence: Best Practices for Transitions, Case Studies & Session Contributions

We're now at the halfway point of the training.....

You have had or will have an opportunity to actively participate in a variety of ways:

• Hearing all the voices- (Stringing the Beads- STB) 
• Breakout groups,
• Community Circle,
• Offering a Transition,
• Case Study presentations.

Best practices to keep in mind when engaged in sharing during the sessions:

• Consider brevity: What few words convey the most in a short period of time- what is at the heart of the matter?
• Practice timing: We have created more "formal" practice fields of timed offerings with Transitions, STB & Case Study presentations where you are given a specified amount of time to speak.

Case Study or Transition best practices:

• *Read your presentation out loud
• Use a timer (such as the stopwatch on your phone)
• Edit accordingly.

*Reading out loud vs. practicing in your mind is very different exercise and often yields a different outcome.
