Meeting Role as a Critical Friend
From Wikipedia:
“A critical friend can be defined as a trusted
person who asks provocative questions, provides
data to be examined through another lens, and
offers critiques of a person’s work as a friend. A
critical friend takes the time to fully understand
the context of the work presented and the
outcomes that the person or group is working
toward. The friend is an advocate for the success
of that work.”
