Mountaintop's 1^st Conversation Closing Survey Results

     1) Please indicate your feelings and thoughts about how the Conversation was facilitated.

I feel it was facilitated very well

Questions worked well---

Enjoyed it very much

Everyone sharing

Enlightening, Powerful, Energizing

Awesome!

Very small groups help

Needed a bit more time perhaps

Great job!

Well facilitated and organized. Small group discussions were appropriate.

The small groups worked well but 3 to 4 people was to narrow a perspective.

The small group and process work. Time was limited.

Learned a lot.

This was my first meeting. At first, the set up didn't make sense to me, but it worked fine.

Excellent

liked the group setting – not enough time – needs to be present for the entire comm.

Everything was good.

Time restricted – otherwise excellent

Excellent, wouldn't change anything (maybe fewer questions and more time for each question – Maybe a weekend retreat.

Build on the work of this first session.
