Hosting values

Important: As a host, you are facilitating the smooth running of the Sharing Circle whilst also being kind, compassionate and supportive to everyone. No share is too big or too small and it's important not to be judgmental or belittling. Offer support and understanding when you can.

Top tip - you are responsible for managing the queue so make sure you have some paper and a pen or notes app to jot down names and timings to make sure no one gets missed and a fair amount of time.

Thank you for volunteering your time. Hope you have a great session! And don't forget to fill out the host log form at the bottom of the script to receive cheers as a thank you! ⭐ If you would like to sign up to be an assigned host, you can now apply here! *

Noted, you're welcome
