Wise Crowds
Wise Crowds is a facilitation method that leverages collective intelligence and peer support to address individual challenges. Participants take turns acting as a 'client', presenting a personal challenge to a group of 'consultants' who offer insights and advice. This method fosters skill development in asking for and giving help, while building supportive relationships.
