Session Description: Society spends a lot of time talking about how to get started.  There are all sorts of sexy words to describe how to make an entrance like: kick-off meetings, launch your career, the grand opening and more!  “How to make a graceful exit” is much more complicated. Exits are just as important as the entrance.  It’s important to feel a sense of closure and that your time was well-spent.  It’s even more complicated when you hope participants learned from the experience because literature has found that learning is codified through reflection.  Crafting a reflective, graceful exit activity can be a challenge to facilitate. In this session, we will discuss the importance of a grateful exit, provide different exit strategies, and we will model different closure activities. Join us to learn about the Art & Science of Adjourning!
