The Radical Transparency Retrospective

When things are being hidden. Surface the 'undiscussables' in a constructive way.

About this session

Teams often struggle with 'undiscussables'—the critical issues everyone knows about but no one mentions in formal meetings. This session provides a structured environment to voice these hidden tensions and convert them into a shared list of prioritized fixes.

Why it works

By explicitly labeling the session as a space for radical transparency, the facilitator lowers the social cost of speaking up about sensitive topics. The three-step progression ensures that the conversation moves quickly from airing grievances to identifying concrete ownership, preventing the meeting from devolving into a circular complaint session.

What you’ll walk away with

  • Clear actionable outcomes from a 3-step facilitated process
  • Increased participant engagement and buy-in
  • Documented decisions and next steps
  • Improved team alignment on the topic

Who it’s for
