Facilitation Moments
Trigger / When to Use

"Why are we doing sticky notes?" - process challenged

Quick Response

Fair question, [Name]. This format gets every idea on the wall with equal weight - not just the loudest voices. Try one round, then tell me if it's not earning its time.

Detailed Tips
  • Explain the why before each activity, not after
  • If it hits mid-activity, pause and problem-solve together
  • Offer a proof point from a past session
  • If the concern is valid, flex: "What would feel better?"
