Design StoryBoards
Meeting design as explicit craft: before an important session, sketch its arc frame by frame — purpose, participants, and which structure fills each block of time — the way filmmakers storyboard scenes. A meta-tool that turns "let's have a workshop" into a deliberate sequence with a purpose per step.

The facilitator's own inner-development tool in disguise: storyboarding forces honesty about each block's purpose — including whether the group is ready for the depth a chosen exercise invites.
