Seven meeting folds

Move at the speed of understanding

  1. 01

    Arrive

    Confirm purpose, available time and participation needs.

  2. 02

    Frame

    Name one observable question and separate it from assumptions.

  3. 03

    Listen

    Gather more than one view and allow time for reflection.

  4. 04

    Clarify

    Distinguish known facts, interpretations and unknowns.

  5. 05

    Options

    Compare realistic next steps and responsible roles.

  6. 06

    Outcome

    State what the group actually reached without overstating authority.

  7. 07

    Relay

    Record the next handoff and review point without sensitive personal detail.

Note design

Record less, clarify more

General notes should carry the question, actual outcome, responsible route and review point—not health details, private histories or unconfirmed allegations.
