Practice hosting conversations.

Hosting power is the ability to create a conversation that would not otherwise happen.

Build it with a palette of moves, timed drills, live tools, and a field guide.

Where to start

By tonight's problem

Solving Conversation Problems

Sprawl, a dominator, a silent guest, rehearsed answers, family scripts — each with moves, drills, clips, and tools.
Ten minutes, alone

The daily set

One set of Rapid Repair (8 rounds), one set of The Naive Ear (10 rounds), one Recap in One. Out loud, standing up.

Before a real conversation

Deal a hand

In Palette Draw, deal two moves for your next dinner, meeting, or interview. Afterwards, mark what you used and log one note.

With a partner

Host for twelve minutes

One hosts for twelve minutes, using the Table Timer to stay under 25% of talk time. Swap. See more practice formats.
