Ask What experiment can be done to change one’s role in a group coaching session ?

[Dean101]

Ask everyone to pick a different role for one round and run a 15–20 minute mini-session. Record the session and note who speaks, how often, and which prompts shift the conversation. Afterward, gather quick reactions: what felt useful, awkward, or revealing? Compare behaviors to usual roles to see how perspective-taking changes questions, empathy, and decision speed. Repeat weekly with different swaps to spot consistent growth or resistance. This simple experiment shows how role changes unlock hidden strengths, surface assumptions, and reshape group dynamics
