PLCs

I really love the new PLC structure that we have adopted this year. I have loved getting to see groups of professionals dive extremely deep into an idea / concept that they've always wanted to learn more about but haven't been able to find the time until now. I love it even more now that we are no longer rotating amongst the groups and are now 'assigned' three groups to continuously check-in with and grow from. While I loved getting to see a variety of things going on around the building while jumping from PLC to PLC, I truly enjoy being able to dive deeper with the groups I have. The three groups I have are extremely hardworking and goal oriented. They are all fairly small (2 of them only have 2 people and the third had 3 people), so it is easy for them to share among themselves and learn quite efficiently. While the size is definitely a strength as far as efficiency, it can also be a struggle when trying to gain more insight into a topic. The number of perspectives is limited, so they must push themselves to reach outside their own circle to find more ideas / perspectives. This can be difficult at times; however, they are doing a great job at doing so.
