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.

Suggerimenti
Ensure a diverse mix of participants to maximize varied perspectives.
Encourage consultants to focus on the client's direct experience and avoid jumping to conclusions.
Remind everyone to participate actively, both as clients and consultants.
Variazioni
For a variation, restrict consultants to only ask open, honest questions without giving direct advice, known as Q-Storming. This can also be adapted for virtual settings using chat functions for feedback.
