Prompts Workshop



Source

A prompt is a question that is impossible to collaborate on. It points inward, asks for language, and leads to self-knowledge.

For example: what bores you?

We can't collaborate on what bores each person, only to ask why and discuss the meaning behind it.

A 'brief' always leads to collaboration (with another person or knowledge). It is anchored in gravity (situation) and points to convergence. 

For example, what is the secret of a work-life balance? 

Subject matter experts will approach this from different angles, but the conversation will inevitably lead to a joint meeting point on *the same page*, where everyone's opinions will be edited.

I have been using prompts in different group settings and coaching, and I have coached others to use them to open space in their coaching, innovation practice, or leadership. 

You're welcome to join a 10-session workshop where we will learn and practice writing prompts.
