One breath feedback
This method gathers feedback in a concise manner, allowing each participant to share their thoughts during a single breath, typically lasting around 20-25 seconds. It helps maintain focus and energy during closing discussions.
How to run it
- 1
Gather the group in a circle. For larger groups, divide into smaller circles of 6-10 participants.
- 2
Inform everyone that they will provide feedback on the discussed topic using just one breath.
- 3
Set a time limit of about 20-25 seconds for each person to speak.
- 4
Begin the feedback round by asking each participant to share their thoughts consecutively.
- 5
Ensure participants adhere to the one-breath limit to keep the process efficient.
- 6
Monitor engagement levels and encourage participants to stay attentive during the round.
Tips

This approach can help shift any negative perceptions around giving feedback by making it quick and focused.
