Friends, we can not improve without getting frank feedback. Especially from users/ participants. Here is one such feedback, which we MUST go though carefully, try to understand and learn from. I have removed names on request. In any case names and places are not so important.
In response to why attnedance at SHG is low..

Response to why attendance at SHG is
low?
low?
1) Same things being talked week after
week

2) Simply for the heck of speaking
certain topics/issues are discussed without proper information and
sensitivity.

3) No standard procedure or schedule.
4) Disconnect between members.
5) No yardstick to measure any
improvements/issues.

On the whole there is very little new
that we learn each week which is not sufficient.

I think some part is that stuttering is
fine, but unless we give people a hope that they can overcome it, in
each meeting by some activity which shows them their growth from
stuttering, it becomes one more chat session which can be had at home
with roommates.

Family is reason. They make different
plans. Its difficult for me convince them that SHG meeting is more
important for me to attend than other plan.

On how to improve?
Lets all meet once to understand what
is it that we are here for. Let each one of us prepare and come for
this question. The core members/seniors should also be present and
observe what the members are saying.
is it that we are here for. Let each one of us prepare and come for
this question. The core members/seniors should also be present and
observe what the members are saying.
This session will be to not fight or
blatantly argue, but to understand that we are responsible for our
actions. Hence, if we need to take profit out of the SHG, we will
need to first put forward our issues and disconnects on the plate.
Let us not be afraid or hesitant to be honest about why we are not
attending and what problems we are facing with respect to SHG.

Only when each member stands up for one
another, we can all be integral. Our goal will bear much more value
and will be more defined.

So it can be more fun and people can

1) Feedback on reading: i personally
feel we are too lenient in giving feedbacks. We tend to always give a
positive feedback than giving an improvement/constructive feedback.

2) We dont tell speakers to take
pauses, full stops in between. We let them speak as they do and
sometimes feedback that they did well which is not always true

3) We are trying out an indirect way of
approaching the problem of stammering by meeting up with stammerers.
I am not sure if there is any success or if anyone has found it
useful so far. But i feel our goal of SHGs must only be to work on
our stammering. Discussions can be a part of it though. If i have
overcome my stammering from a worsened state to somewhat better
state, others too can. I see this goal missing in meetings. We tend
to play games that may not directly help us improve the current
situation.

4) Need to do exercises in sessions. It
can be done one on one and told people to repeat at their homes

Until now it has been self driven and
the lack of people coming forward has trickled it down a lot.

These milestones should be tracked by
shg as a whole to benifit each one.

BTW this is just an opinion 🙂
What ever happening now seems good.
Would like to attend many more meeting to get benifitted.

Attending meet-ups is always fun. Timing is one of the reasons of not
making it there on some weekends…

Dear Participant- thank you for your
valuable feedback. It is based on two surveys (I am told). I will
strongly recommend many many many more people to come up with their
frank feedback, so that we can get a sense of proportion and
perspective.(sachin)

(December 20, 2013 - 5:43 am)To evolve, feedback is an important ingredient – we have to consider it objectively.
Without feedback we stand the risk of stagnation – Kudos to those we have provided the feedback and to those who have collected it!
Feel free to express, it our birth right!
