Facilitator: council leans task-focused; profiles and artifacts to be distributed
Summary
The facilitator observed the team skewed toward task- and detail-focused preferences and said she would distribute individual profiles and a team wheel as artifacts for future reference.
In a hands-on exercise using colored blocks, council members represented their dominant and secondary preferences. Kelly observed that the group's dominant orientation tilted toward task-focused energies — getting work done and getting it done right — and that fewer members showed a dominant relational ('green') preference.
The facilitator asked the group to keep the blocks and the one-page notes as reminders and said she would send the 21-page individual profiles, the team wheel and a soft copy of the artifact after the session. "These are how you can keep the dialogue going," she said, offering follow-up calls to any member who wanted more time to process the profile details. Kelly scheduled the group to reconvene in the council's next series of work sessions with a focus on applying the shared vocabulary in future meetings.
No formal actions were taken during the retreat; the facilitator emphasized follow-up and application of the tools in upcoming substantive agenda work, including the two-year budget process.
