A three-minute reset for a stuck team
When a team is stuck, a longer conversation often strengthens the loop. This short reset creates distance from the dominant assumption and ends with evidence.
Name the assumption
Complete the sentence: ‘We cannot move because…’ Write one specific claim, not a broad complaint.
Reverse it
Write the opposite as if it were true. Ask what would become possible under that condition.
Choose one signal
Define the smallest action that could show whether the reversed assumption contains something useful.
