Facilitator flow
Launch focus mode to reveal one question at a time, capture the tip, and keep track of progress as you guide the room.
How to host with confidence
- Open by naming your intention. It disarms nerves and invites partnership.
- Share your own answer first. Modeling vulnerability is the fastest way to earn it from others.
- Offer a pass option at every step and thank people for using it. Psychological safety is the real goal.
- Close the loop: ask what landed and capture wins to celebrate in your next gathering.
Backup prompts
Keep these in your back pocket for moments when the room needs a softer landing or a playful pivot.
