Listen to My Life: Facilitator's Guide

This Facilitator's Guide allows a life coach to lead a life mapping group experience. Built around the eight visual maps in Listen to My Life, this Guide offers 11 session outlines (some are designed to be repeated more than once) divided into sections on Life Stories, Reviewing My Days and Valleys, Desires and Rhythms. The sections can be done as separate experiences or strung together to created a longer course. A handout and facilitator's outline is included for each session, along with hints on setting up and making the most of the course.

While designed for women's groups, the course can be used for mixed or male groups with a few changes to the outlines. This Guide includes ground rules for discussions, a guide to listening well and instructions for starting a Listen to My Life group in your neighborhood or church.

The guide calls for some additional materials (books and DVDs to supplement what is in the workbook), although with a little effort you could replace them. The schedule is fairly flexible, built around two hour sessions. However, be aware that the larger the group, the more sessions you may need to allow everyone adequate time to share their story.
