The format

A proven format for building connection.

Every Candidly Speaking event follows the same structure. Participants take turns sharing their own experience, and everyone else practices active listening.

A warm welcome
Each event begins with a brief introduction and explanation of what to expect, so every voice is welcomed before the sharing begins.
Small facilitated groups
Participants move into small breakout groups of 4 to 5 people, guided by a trained facilitator who holds the structure and keeps the focus on active listening.
Questions from participants
Questions are drawn from participant submissions, so the conversation always reflects what people in the room actually want to talk about.
We work with communities, schools, and organizations.
