Morning Slow Start

People arrive holding coffee and last night's email, and the room takes a while to actually show up. Nobody is being difficult, they just haven't switched contexts yet. Give them a few minutes of social time and something low-stakes to do on their feet before anything that needs real thought.

Say this — right now

Start with a quick energizer or pair chat before diving into content.

Word for word is fine. The room won't know.

Work the move

01Allow 5-10 min social time as people arrive
02Begin with low-stakes warm-up activity
03Offer coffee/tea if possible
04Start with movement, not slides

How the cards work

Recognize the moment

Each card is triggered by a specific challenge you're watching unfold in the room — a silence, a dominator, a stalled decision.

Pull the move

Each card gives you an exact phrase to say, plus detailed tips and a prevention strategy for next time.

Take action

Use the quick response on the spot, or choose an alternative that fits your room. Back on track in seconds.
