Problem
Effective sharing of practice relies on people being able to share their personal experiences in a reflective manner, in a way that lends itself to examination by others, but to be useful such sharing needs to be focused, relevant, specific and highlight what has worked. However people can find it difficult to identify an appropriate level of detail or granularity and often focus on what has failed.Context
This pattern works best where the group involved has a defined purpose for sharing practice. It can operate in anything from a 10 minute quick fire round to a full day workshop and works well both face to face and online.Solution
Ask participants to represent their story of successful practice using a simple common structure, to present it in their own words to the larger group. Then have the larger group explore the details of the story and examine it to identify the factors that contributed to its success.
