Exercises for Context Sharing

Context sharing exercises help a room surface who is here, what they bring, and what they need before deeper work begins. They strengthen Personalization, one of the six Gathering Effectiveness pillars this library is organized by. Use them early, when people do not yet know how to read the room or what others are carrying into it.

This category groups exercises by relationship stage, one of the eight purposes the library is organized around.
