10 minutes to explain the worksheet.  5 minutes to complete it.  No formal feedback is included.  This may be requested on an individual basis during breaks.

Materials required

A supply of sticky notes or tape flags (one per participant) can enhance the exercise.
A copy of the worksheet, page ## 9.

Procedure


1.         Explain that all participants come to a seminar with knowledge that they can contribute.  Equally, all come with expectations that they hope to see fulfilled.
2.         Provide examples of the skills and expectations that are common for this type of seminar.
3.         Stress that the expectations and contributions they have in mind may remain confidential.
            It is up to them to make them public as and when they choose. 
4.         If they wish to discuss them with other participants or the session leader either publicly or in private the opportunity will be made available. 
5.         No report back session on this exercise is programmed.
6.         Ask participants to complete the worksheet, page ## 9.
7.         Provide a Post-it tape flag to encourage participants to refer back to their goals during the seminar.  Allow time to review their expectations and contributions at key points throughout the seminar.
