The same reasons to start the Series Meetings on time apply to starting a workshop on time. Introductions and Handouts Introductions can be given in the familiar round-robin style. Or you might want to try something different. The exercise requires each participant to listen to another person, clarify the information received, and speak in front of a group. These are the same skills a Leader uses when helping mothers and leading a Group, and this simple exercise can serve as an example of leading skills to the mothers attending the workshop.
Handouts offer the mothers something to refer to when the workshop is over.
Becoming a La Leche League Leader is a good resource to give to all who attend. For a series of workshops, you may want to prepare and distribute an agenda to help everyone remain focused on the day's topics and serve as an outline. If evaluation forms are included, the responses will help in preparing future workshops. Book Reviews Book reviews are an easy way to invite participation by the women at the workshop. Discussing favorite LLL books can lead into exploring how Leaders use printed materials to help mothers.
