Transition Lab Step : Complementary methods for Workshops
One Word Before Leaving is a check-out activity used to verify everyone’s feelings before closing a reflection practice or an intense collaborative session.
Step 1
Ask the participants to describe their feelings before they leave the room/ online meeting in one word. “Please share with us in one word how you are feeling now, at the end of this activity.”
Step 2
Add the words to an open canvas.
Step 3
Ask if someone wants to share more about their selected word.
This activity is very motivational, inspiring people to speak out loud about how they feel at the end of the activity. Typically, it gets highly motivated people to infect other participants right before closing the meeting.
