What’s inside
Give the conversation a useful destination before the details take over.
FROM THE GUIDE / Open with this
Before we start, here’s what I’d like us to walk out with. Does that match what everyone needs?
02 / RESPOND
Say the outcome, then invite agreement
Use the opening early, at a natural pause. For example: “Before we start, I’d like us to choose a launch date and a handover owner.
03 / FOLLOW THROUGH
Keep the agreed outcome available
Write it in the shared notes. When the conversation drifts, ask: “What do we still need to settle the launch date?” You are returning to an agreement the group made.
