This thesis contains a description of my personal experience as a facilitator of a small goal-setting process known as Discovery and a self-evaluation guide for group facilitators. The story also includes a detailed description of the ongoing process of self-evaluation in between and during the seven-week sessions. The analysis outlines five growth themes extracted from the story, time, facilitator focus, ambiguity, self-talk, and skills. Also included in the analysis chapter is a description of the interaction between anxiety and the five themes. The self-evaluation guide, developed from the story and the participant's feedback, is for neophyte group facilitators who have previous knowledge about group facilitation skills and group process.
