You already know the rhythm: solo, pair, foursome, full group.
But let’s talk about the “All.”
When it's done well—when the room is buzzing, hands are up, and insights are tumbling out like popcorn—it becomes more than just the final step.
It becomes a harvest. A river formed by many streams.
The earlier stages set the table. “All” is when the group shares the meal. It’s when insights are spoken out loud and made visible. When someone’s words get written up on the board, it’s not just documentation. It’s a moment of recognition. It says, "This mattered. We heard it."
And when we skip or rush it? We lose something. The group feels it, even if they can’t name it. The energy dips. The tension lingers. It’s like unfinished business.
Here’s what’s helped me: ✔️ Calling it a Group Harvest instead of a report-back ✔️ Double-checking with contributors before I write things down ✔️ Remembering that what we’re doing is not just surfacing content, but building shared meaning
The “All” is not the end. It’s a turning point. And when it’s filled with openness, curiosity, and courage, it can shift how people feel about themselves and each other.
