Short, practical, and built around work you actually do rather than a lecture you sit through. You bring a real working relationship or decision, and you leave having practised something on it.

Ninety minutes on holding a room. You deliver something short and real, two other people score you against twelve delivery behaviours, and then you deliver it again with one thing changed.
Seven of the twelve happen before you open your mouth, from knowing why you are speaking to being rehearsed enough to be free of it. The other five are what you do while you are speaking: pause, pace, volume, emotion and tonality. You find out which of them is costing you the room.
Singing is part of it. Everyone in the room fails at the same time, which is the reason it is done in a group.
Last session was the Sensing Drill on 17 September. The results are published, including the figure we withdrew.
These sessions are aimed at people who negotiate and hold hard conversations for a living. Founders, senior leaders, coaches and facilitators, educators, and anyone who reads people for a living. They work whether the method is new to you or familiar.
Where a session collects data, the anonymised results go back to everyone who attended. Where the research behind it is still small and self-reported, that gets said plainly in the room rather than dressed up.
Four people from different worlds take difficult statements, pick a side, and defend it in the room. The audience votes on every one.
