I'd like to go around the group and have everyone share one thing they're looking forward to at UH this year. In order to feel connected to a group, members need to get to know one another and see what they have in common. One of the challenges of group leadership is creating camaraderie and good will within the group. It is important to encourage positive interactions that make members feel good about being part of the group. Since I'm sure we all procrastinate, I'd like each of us to share one thing that we do to waste time when we're avoiding something more important.
Every group has an identity and an atmosphere.
As a leader, you will set the tone for defining what the group is all about and what it will feel like to be a member. Permission is granted to copy and use this handout provided this copyright notice remains intact.
