Red flags
- Intense, rapid pacing; little time to reflect.
- “Breakthrough” exercises pushing private disclosures in front of the group.
- Anchoring and reframing deployed to create compliance.
- Idealization of leaders; discouraging critical questions.
Our alternative
- Slow pace; optional participation.
- Peer facilitation; rotate the role.
- Opt‑out culture; informed consent for any exercise.
- No upsells or “advanced levels.”
