How do I keep a small-group discussion focused?
Upvote:1
Just a few tips... Never tell someone something when you can have them discover the answer themselves by asking a question. To lead a group it helps to have a ton of questions written down. Start with a few easy questions to get the ball rolling and then ask more challenging questions. When some one answers a question, as another person what they think about that person's answer or "Does anyone disagree with that answer"? This usually gets the conversation going.
Motivation = Value x expectancy
