p>Counseling: Group Meeting
Introduction
My name is XYZ, and I proposed and led a group meeting about discussing the importance of social skills in children and its effect on their academic performance. The meeting was conducted on 4th August 2021 for one hour after school hours in one of the empty classrooms. The number of participants was three, other than me. There was no co-leader present in the group meeting.

I had to regulate the others whenever there was a conflict to neutralize negative viewpoints for a healthy discussion. I had to ensure that every group member got a chance to speak and the others listened. No group member diverted from the proposal since we had to prepare for the upcoming presentation on the same topic for one of our courses. Having a group meeting was the best way of its preparation.

The group should even work together to form a team with special characteristics of problem-solving, working positively, and bringing in more flexibility.
These learnings would be applied in future group leadership by adapting to group evolution at different stages such as forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. The behavior of each group member needs to be interpreted well so that conflict management becomes easier and group structure and its dynamics are sustained well.
I need to work on my blocking behavior since the group members were the individuals I knew well, and I tried to joke during the meeting once or twice. The flow of information could be blocked, and as a leader, I have the responsibility…
