Facilitation Guide
The Group Discussion Guide
How to Do This With Your Friends — A 12-Week Facilitation Guide
The work holds longer when the people doing it made the rules together.
For the person taking a Name It First workbook into a small group — friend group, book club, or cohort — who needs a 12-week facilitation structure, not a prompt list.
The Name It First Experience
Group discussion without structure produces performance. The Group Truth Guide gives your gathering a 12-week frame, explicit rules, decision processes, and the avoided truth finally on the page — signed by every member. The output is not a better conversation. It is a signed document.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- What has this group built together over the weeks of discussion — not the content of the conversations, but the trust, the honesty, the patterns of showing up?
- What has someone else in the group said that you have been thinking about since — the thing that shifted something?
- What would The Group Record capture about these 12 weeks of conversations that you would want to be able to return to?
