Trust & Candour

Ask Me Anything

Word cloudRemote or in personWarm room only

Questions submitted anonymously, then answered.

The room submits questions anonymously and the leader answers them live. Anonymity is the entire mechanism: it gets the question everybody is thinking about onto the screen instead of into the corridor afterwards.

Run this when…

The situations it was built for. If none of these is the room you have, it is probably the wrong activity.

  • An all-hands after a big announcement
  • A new leader's first month
  • The end of a difficult quarter

How it runs

Everyone types a short answer and it lands on the big screen as it arrives.

  1. 1You start a session and put the code on the big screen.
  2. 2Everyone joins on their phone — no app, no sign-up, just the code.
  3. 3You drive the pace from the host screen; the room answers as they go.
  4. 4Ending the session builds the report, with every answer in it.

Running it well

Only the host sees these. Participants never do.

  • Answer the hardest question first. Ducking it in front of the room is more damaging than never running the activity.
  • 'I don't know' and 'I can't say yet, and here is why' are both good answers. Pretending is not.

This one needs a warm room

It asks for real candour. In a group that has already loosened up it is the best thing in the Library; in a cold room it lands somewhere between awkward and harmful. Run an icebreaker or an energiser first.
