| “You will lose people along the way – don’t fret it. Focus on where the energy is, and keep the ball rolling by engaging the ones with the energy.” —Jody DeRidder |
| “For interactive sessions to be impactful, they need to be well organized—not only with a clear activity in mind—but also with report-outs & follow through.” —Cathy Aster |
| “Make sure tasks have deadlines (reasonable ones), and set up regular conference calls to keep things rolling.” —Jody DeRidder |
We recommend the following set of general guidelines for group leaders. Past and present coordinators of our existing groups are also a great resource, and in our experience they are always eager to share. Do you admire what an existing DLF group has accomplished? Get in touch with leadership and ask how!
