Core Exploration
In threes, an Explorer spends three minutes going after what matters most to a Speaker — feeling it, reflecting it, digging with 'why does X matter to you?', distilling and checking — while a Listener tracks where they felt the Speaker most. Each then says what they now understand about the Speaker's core, and the Speaker says it in a sentence. Built for a leadership training to teach empathic listening and to clarify motivation at once.
