Case Clinic
What is Case Clinic about ?
PURPOSE

PRINCIPLES
• The case should be a challenge that is current and concrete.
• The case giver needs to be a key player in the case.

ROLES & SEQUENCE
Case giver: Share your personal aspiration and challenge that is current, concrete, important, and that you happen to be a key player in. You should be able to present the case in 15 minutes and the case should stand to benefit from the feedback of your peers. Include your willingness to learn from this (e.g., what you need to let go of).
Coaches: Listen deeply: do not try to “fix” the problem, but listen to the case giver while also attending to the images, metaphors, feelings and gestures that the story evokes in you.
Timekeeper: One of the coaches manages the time.
