Click here to view the Feb 8th INTEREACH webinar, the final installment of the Series: The Art & Science of Making Meaningful Moments – Subtle Strategies & Creative Conditions for Effective and Uplifting Facilitation. Hosts Anne Heberger Marino, Founder of Lean-To Collaborations, Hannah Love, Co-Founder of Team Divergent Science, & Alyssa Stephens, Founder of Cactus Consulting join us again to close out this series with some tips for making your meeting closures as “satisfying as a chocolate chip cookie”. Just as chocolate chip cookies can vary greatly based on the ingredients used, adjournment tactics will vary based on the nature of the meeting or retreat. They share 4 key elements to consider when deciding on your specific adjournment strategy: purpose of closure/reflection (including observing, learning, evaluating integrating), depth of reflection, format of reflection, and time available. The hosts then demonstrate 3 interactive adjournment strategies for 1) a quick closure that highlights participant learning, 2) a more in-depth closure for longer meetings and retreats where more reflection is required, and finally 3) ensuring follow-through and generating action items for after the meeting has ended.
