Quaker Conversation
Quaker Conversation is a structured method designed to ensure all voices in a group are heard equally, preventing dominant personalities from overshadowing quieter members. It is particularly useful for gathering diverse perspectives and avoiding groupthink in creative or ideation sessions.
