How to personalize a template
A strong group scene does not give everyone equal dialogue merely for fairness. It keeps the viewpoint anchored, varies participation according to goals and relationships, and periodically refreshes who is present, where they are, and what changed because of the interaction.
- 1Choose the template closest to your actual purpose.
- 2Replace every bracketed field with specific information.
- 3Delete any sentence that does not belong in your situation.
- 4Read the result aloud for unnatural transitions or repeated phrasing.
- 5Verify names, dates, links, facts, and promises before sending or publishing.
