TABLE LEADERS GUIDELINE

Table Leaders Guideline

1. Table Leader to review the process they are going to lead and facilitate the men in:
   
   
• Check In
  
  
• Big Idea Questions and Discussion
  
  
2. Table Leader to affirm that this is a comfortable, safe place where we will honour and respect you and grow together as men
   
   
3. Table Leader will facilitate the Check In and lead the process by sharing first, modeling what to share:
   
   
• What to share – Name, 1 or 2 Emotions, Praise Report
  
  
• Rules of Engagement:
  
  
  • What is said here stays here. (Confidentiality=Safety)
    
    
  • No cross talk – only one person shares at a time. (Respect)
    
    
  • “I” statements – we share how we identify with what is shared – we don’t compare. (Encourage sharing from the heart not the head. Helps facilitate transparency through comfort that “I am no longer alone.”)
    
    
  • This is a Christian meeting so we share appropriately as Christians. (Language and biblical truth must be monitored and corrections done in love.)
    
    
  • We recognize a man for sharing by making eye contact and thanking him.
    
    
  • We honour men for stating they would like to pass on sharing.
    
    
4. Table Leader will facilitate the Big Idea Discussion and lead the process by sharing first, modeling a response to one of the questions unless another man is ready to share:
   
   
• Review the Rules of Engagement as listed above
  
  
• Have the men consider the Big Idea questions for a couple of minutes
  
  
• Ask the men if someone is ready to share
  
  
• If no men are ready to share the table leader is to share first
  
  
• Ensure that time is available as best as possible so that each man has an opportunity to share.
  
  
• Meeting leader will give you a 2 minute wrap up message
