How to run it

  1. Set the tone that the conversation is a ‘safe place’ and anything shared in the room should stay in the room. This helps to build trust.
  2. Next, you simply ask participants to share three different stories with the rest of the team. Each of these stories is based on a concept beginning with ‘H’, hence the ‘Triple H’. These are…
  3. Hero - Who is one of your heroes and why? Who has inspired you? Who they are and what they do.
  4. Hardship - What is a hardship you have been through in the past?
  5. Highlight - What is a highlight in your life? Your greatest achievement.
  6. You should allow every team member to share their ‘Triple H’ with the group before summarising at the end. It is useful to summarise with a question such as…
  7. What important or valuable information have you learnt from this activity?
  8. Often, people will mention that they didn’t know that about someone, or that they were inspired by a particular person’s comment. This is useful to help build trust, openness, understanding and collaboration between the team.​
