I gain affirmation for the role of a Leader and an LLL Group. I feel comfortable and welcomed. That is how visiting Series Meetings affects me as a Leader, but as a visitor, I can also see the meeting through the eyes of someone new to the Group. First impressions are important. We can try evaluating our Series Meetings from a newcomer's perspective.
Physical comfort is important too.
Remember that from a mother's perspective, each Group is a microcosm of La Leche League. As Leaders, each of us is viewed as a representative of LLL at all times. There are many details to consider before, during, and after the meeting, from dressing and speaking appropriately to the wording of announcements and questions. As each of us thinks about the first impressions our Group makes, we can consult the Leader's Handbook regardless of how long we've been Leaders. Like any good book it has timeless tidbits of information that we may not remember from our last reading.
