Having a strong initial stage is important for a successful group. This stage will set the tone for all subsequent group meetings. There are techniques that can be very beneficial during this time. As you watch the Corey DVD and complete the workbook, pay special attention to how the Coreys navigate through this stage. As you work on your initial thread consider and address the following:
- What type of group would you like to lead?
- What techniques stand out to you?
- How can these techniques be used with the group you would like to lead?
- What techniques might be more challenging for you or your group?
