When your team shows signs of drift, overwhelm, or unclear priorities, fourteen minutes can bring the room back into alignment. This facilitation cycle walks you through four timed steps: Ground, Clarify, Decide, and Normalize, each with ready-to-use prompts you can read straight off the page.

The protocol is grounded in organizational research on change fatigue and engagement. Print it, keep it in your meeting folder, and reach for it the next time the agenda starts moving faster than the people in the room.
