Method: Feedback Canvas Peer Coaching
A structured peer-coaching ritual using a simple canvas to sharpen “How might we…” questions and surface insights—grounded in mutual respect and inclusive dialogue.
1. Project Pitch (5 min):
In pairs, each partner presents their “How might we…” question and project concept for five minutes, outlining key assumptions and desired outcomes.
2. Canvas Setup:
On a flip-chart or large sheet, draw a frame divided into three zones:
- Left: Open Questions
- Right: Pain Points
- Bottom: Valuable Insights
3. Guided Feedback (10 min):
After each pitch, listeners spend two minutes silently noting on sticky notes:
- Open Questions that probe gaps or curiosities
- Pain Points they perceive in the concept or approach
- Valuable Insights; the strongest ideas or promising angles
4. Peer Debrief (5 min):
The presenter reviews the canvas with their partner, asking for clarification and reflecting on which notes resonate most. Co-interpret the feedback without judgment.
5. Shared Action Steps (5 min):
Collaboratively identify one adjustment to your “How might we…” framing or method based on the feedback. Agree on a next check-in to track progress.
Cultural & Contextual Sensitivity:
Value all lived experiences. Honour contributions, mind power dynamics, and uplift marginalized voices.
