What to say
“How full is your cup, and what is one thing that might put something back in it? Keep it as specific or general as you want. Either part and the whole round are passable.”

Keep it comfortable and useful.
Make room for everyone
- Display and read the prompt aloud.
- Allow speaking, writing, pointing, chat, or passing with equal status.
- Never require eye contact, an explanation, or a public follow-up.
Watch out for
- Do not solicit needs you have no intention of reviewing; be honest about what is within your control.
- Follow up privately after the meeting; the check-in identifies where support may be needed but is not the support itself.
- Do not reward upbeat answers or treat a difficult answer as a public discussion prompt.
