Evolution In the Group

Our group has been alive for over a year now and it continues to evolve. Looking backwards, I suppose I could summarize our first year by saying we've concentrated on having our relationships get closer and more important. And we've tried to organize ourselves, despite our penchant for talking, We've carefully grown from our four initial people to a stable six in the group, The increased size has forced us to become more organized.

Recently, we've looked at how we can make our requests for coaching extend beyond the few minutes for coaching in the call itself. For example, one of our group wanted coaching on recreating his passion and enthusiasm for developing his new business. I called him two days later and spent about 20 minutes having him specify his problem and I then recommended an exercise which he reports as being highly effective. Another member wrote to him suggesting that he modify his mission statement to be more forceful and immediate. And worked to provide a possible revision for him.

What this amounts to is that we consider our MM group increasingly important in our lives, worth much more than an hour;s worth of time a week.
