Photo Check-In

Participants select an image from a collection that resonates with how they feel, what they expect from the session, or their current state. They then briefly explain their choice. The visual element bypasses verbal defences, enabling more honest and expressive sharing than word-only check-ins.

Come eseguirlo

1
Prepare a diverse set of images — 30–60 images works well. Use landscapes, objects, people, abstract art, animals.
2
Spread images on a table (physical) or display them in a grid (digital).
3
Invite participants to select the image that best represents how they feel or what they bring to the session.
4
Each person briefly shares their image and what it means to them (30–60 seconds each).
5
Collect images back and transition to the session.

Suggerimenti

Diversity in the image set is key — include positive, neutral, challenging, and ambiguous images.
Avoid images that are too literal or narrowly professional.
The image is a projective prompt, not a quiz.

Variazioni

Ask participants to take their own photo on their phone before the session (works well for remote). Use for check-outs too: 'Pick an image that captures what you're taking away.'
