Everyone benefits by regular participation
Be positive -- no criticism, no attacks
About SIGs in General
Wednesday Nights means participating in small discussion groups (SIGs).
Meeting in small interest groups builds the community of trust
necessary to meet the many business and personal challenges we each face. This is where we
get to learn what's important to one another, ask great questions and share information.
Groups are small, just 2 to 8 people including a leader. Sessions last
just over one hour. Everyone participates, everyone listens. Lots of safety -- no
criticism, no interruptions, no veiled attacks. Lots of helpful information, opportunity
sharing and practice in saying what matters most to you. Each group has a leader who is
committed to this process.
Leaders draw out the thinking of all the
group members on a given topic. As each person talks, they have the full
attention of their small group. Does this mean that everyone agrees with one
another? Hardly! It does mean that we value differences and believe that
listening is as essential as talking when thinking deeply on subjects that
matter to each of us.
