Plan your first meeting: If the group is new to one another and is on the larger size, nametags are a great help. They relieve everyone of having to remember names! Welcome everyone and ask each person to do a short introduction. Have each person share:
- Their name
- Where they live and how long they’ve been at PT
- Some fun detail about themselves like:
- their favorite place they have traveled
- favorite food
- something they like about their job (and something they find challenging about their work)
- favorite thing about where they grew up
There are lots of options. You may have a question you love to ask. Just make sure it's an easy question to answer and let the group know something about them.
Discuss and decide on a meeting day and time. Weekly is best but if that isn’t possible for the majority of the group, every other week can work. Share contact info. Agree how long you will meet each week. Most groups plan on 90 minutes and are committed to starting and ending on time so that everyone can count on a consistent experience. Decide on content: Life groups can decide to study whatever they would like but to make those decisions a bit easier, PT can provide some options, and we are more than willing to help resource your group in any way that is helpful.
