[Before Speaking]
- Have Mission Review slide showing.
- Ensure Mission Statement flipchart is prominently posted.
- Have Parking Lot flipchart visible and accessible.
- Keep timer ready for one-minute shares.
[To Read Aloud]
- We’ll take a couple minutes now to reflect on two important questions about our mission.
- These questions will help ensure we all understand and are aligned on our goal.
- We’ll use a “lap” approach – each person gets one minute to share while others listen.
- If questions arise that need more discussion, we’ll post them to our parking lot.
- Let’s start with silent reflection on the two questions.
- (Complete a lap ensuring everyone speaks; post issues for follow-up on the Parking Lot.)
Next: Thank you for sharing. Now let’s review the balance of the agenda for our meeting →
