Session plans
The whole session, already written.
Each plan is a complete session for one skill, built on one of our games: what to say, what to ask, how to debrief and how to carry it back to work. Free with every account, in Word and PowerPoint so you can make it yours.
- A minute-by-minute run sheet for 90 minutes, with 60-minute, half-day and online versions
- A script: what to say, what to ask and what to listen for
- The debrief, step by step, and how to carry it back to work
- A one-page handout per participant and an observer sheet
- Slides with speaker notes, and a one-pager to send your client
With Ranking
About RankingConsensus decisions
Decide better together than alone
Teams rank a survival scenario alone and then together, see from their own scores whether the team did better than its members, and practise four habits that help a team decide better than its average member.
See the planInfluence without authority
Get the best idea heard
Teams rank a survival scenario alone and then together, use the leaderboard to find whose ranking came closest in each team, check against their own notes whether it was heard, and practise balancing advocacy and inquiry on a real decision where the person holding the pen has the least authority.
See the plan In the app from 9 October 2026Constructive disagreement
Disagree to decide better
Everyone ranks a survival scenario alone before the team talks, keeps that view on screen while the team agrees one ranking, counts how many people say they kept a disagreement to themselves, and practises four habits that make disagreement about the task useful to the decision.

With Unlock
About UnlockActive listening
Listen until you can see it
Teams put a sequence of pictures in order when nobody can see anyone else's pictures, find out from their own wrong attempts where listening broke down, and practise a four-step check-back loop in rounds 2 and 3, the last one under time pressure.
See the planClear communication
Say it so they can see it
Teams put a sequence of images in order when each person sees only their own, work back from their wrong attempts to the descriptions that were misunderstood, and practise four habits of a clear description over three rounds, then on a real briefing of their own.
See the plan In the app from 9 October 2026Continuous improvement
Get faster every round
Teams play the same Unlock puzzle four times, hold a two-minute plan, do, check, act review between rounds, and explain their own improvement curve in terms of the changes they made, separating what they changed from what they simply remembered.

With Diamonds
About DiamondsCollaboration between teams
One community, not five teams
Teams prospect for diamonds with a budget, scattered clues and one objective read word for word, discover after stage 2 who their community really was, estimate what working together from the start would have yielded, and take one habit back to a real interface at work.
See the planDeciding with incomplete information
Test before you bet
Teams prospect for diamonds with a budget and scattered clues, read their own log of tests and bets between stages, learn when a cheap test beats a big bet and what a clue is worth, and plan the first small test for a real decision of their own.

With Expressive
About ExpressiveCoaching conversations
Coach with a picture
Each person chooses one picture for a real work situation. Then, in groups of three, people take turns to coach, be coached and observe, and practise three habits: open questions, playing back what they heard, and letting the coachee name the next step.
See the plan In the app from 9 October 2026Empathy
The story behind the picture
Each person's partner writes a guess about what their chosen image means before hearing the real story, the gap between guess and story shows how fast we fill in meaning, and the group practises checking what someone means before acting on it.
See the plan In the app from 16 October 2026Self-awareness and values
Know what drives you
Each person chooses one image for 'What is your top value?', tells a partner why it beat the image they nearly chose, puts the value into one sentence, and leaves with one commitment that puts it into action.
