In Spiral Journal, participants reflect calmly on challenges or opportunities by drawing a spiral and responding to four open-ended prompts. This structure focuses thoughts and unleashes creative ideas, creating a comfortable space for quieter people to contribute.
When shared, these responses reveal patterns and potential new directions for our work. Spiral Journal enacts LS Principle #5, Practice Self-Discovery Within a Group.
Think-Write-Share (T-W-S) is designed to provide users a structured approach to critically think through any question and serves as a starting point for hearing all voices in any discussion. This tool is very effective for enabling critical and creative thinking.
A Self-Awareness, Empathy, and Non-Violent Communication Practice for Leaders and Team members
The Planets Activity is a reflective and relational practice that helps leaders map the inner landscape that drives their behaviour at work. Using a simple metaphor of three concentric circles, participants identify their core needs (NVC), the feelings that arise when these needs are met or unmet, and the observable actions they take on the “surface” as a result. By distinguishing clearly between needs, feelings, and behaviours, leaders gain a deeper understanding of their own patterns and those of others. This creates a foundation of empathy, emotional literacy, and shared language that enhances collaboration, reduces misinterpretation, and supports more human, responsible leadership.
It has been a highly acclaimed activity for every team and training session, and it is easy to deliver while having the greatest impact on the workshop or training.

In Grief Walking, participants offer or receive social support by sharing a loss or walking with the person sharing. This structure is not therapy or an effort to fix something broken.
Instead, it allows us to share gifts of empathy and caring to support each other through a loss or difficult transition.
Grief Walking embodies LS Principle #3, Build Trust as You Go.
