Before the agenda starts, ask everyone in the room one question: what’s on your mind heading into today? Responses appear as a live word cloud on the main screen — visible to everyone, including leadership, before anyone has said a word.
The result is a real read of what the group brought into the meeting: the energy, the concerns, the things already on people’s minds. It takes 60 seconds and changes the tone of the room.
How to use it:
- Share the participation link or QR code at the very start of the session — or include it in the calendar invite for early arrivals
- Participants respond from their phone or laptop — no account needed
- Project the word cloud on the main screen and acknowledge what’s there before moving to the agenda
Works for: any all-hands, town hall, or team meeting where you want to start with the group’s voice rather than a slide deck.
