How to run Learning Set meetings
• each set member in turn presents an issue • colleagues help the set member to explore their
issue, clarify the issue and explore the assumptions or barriers that surround it
• the use of reflective questioning and co-coaching methods with the aim of helping each member review, analyse, and see their issue from different points of view
• the group works with the set member to generate ideas and potential solutions
• time is left at the end to reflect on what has been learned about the issue and the process of learning that has taken place

Working Agreements for action learning sets

• ensuring fair share of ‘air’ time for all
