One Thing I'm Bad At
Anonymous. Watch the room relax when the first one lands.
Everyone names one thing they are genuinely not good at, anonymously. It is over in eight minutes and it changes the temperature of a room more than an hour of talking about psychological safety, because it turns admitting weakness into the normal thing rather than the brave thing.
Run this when…
The situations it was built for. If none of these is the room you have, it is probably the wrong activity.
- Before a session on psychological safety
- A newly formed leadership team
- A team where one or two people dominate
How it runs
Everyone types a short answer and it lands on the big screen as it arrives.
- 1You start a session and put the code on the big screen.
- 2Everyone joins on their phone — no app, no sign-up, just the code.
- 3You drive the pace from the host screen; the room answers as they go.
- 4Ending the session builds the report, with every answer in it.
Running it well
Only the host sees these. Participants never do.
- Keep it anonymous. Named, this becomes a performance of humility and the answers get worthless.
- Read a few out loud yourself. Silence after the reveal is the failure mode.
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.
