How to run it

  1. 1

    Pair participants who have an ongoing working relationship.

  2. 2

    Each person writes down two lists: one of what they can do to help their partner and another of how that partner could assist them.

  3. 3

    Give them 10 minutes to create their lists independently.

  4. 4

    After writing, each person shares their list with their partner, discussing the points.

Tips

  • Encourage openness and honesty to foster constructive dialogue.

  • Remind participants to stay respectful and focused on positive outcomes during discussions.

  • Be prepared to mediate if the conversation becomes too heated or uncomfortable.

Variations

You can adapt this method for larger groups by connecting pairs into small groups for broader insights, or use anonymous submissions for sensitive topics.
