1.Share an emoji forecast for the team this week and explain it in one sentence.
Personalized plan
Balance a hybrid meeting
Half your team is in the office, half is remote. You need everyone to feel equally present and valued.
Goal
Equalize voices and create shared moments across locations.
Group size
10–50 people (small pods)
Duration
90 seconds per pod
Opening script
"Let's pair up across in-office and remote teams. Use these prompts to connect, then share one highlight with the whole group."
Feeling the pressure?
"How do I make sure remote folks don't feel like second-class participants?"
If tech issues arise, drop prompts into chat and invite async responses so everyone can still participate.
Facilitator toolkit

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.
