WHEN TEAMS GET STUCK.
Most meetings drain energy. This is the method that resets a stuck team in nine minutes. What follows is the heart of it, enough to run your very first session.
People do not get stuck because they lack good ideas. They get stuck because pressure narrows how they see the situation.
The 9-Minute Reframe Playbook widens the lens again, fast.
The method
The 9-Minute Reframe is built around a simple three-part framework designed to shift perspective, unlock better thinking, and move conversations forward.
The playbook provides everything you need to run this method. The structure broken down minute by minute, the exact words to open and close a session, what to ask when someone freezes, how to handle the tricky moments, and real session transcripts so you can hear how it sounds.
how THE METHOD works
3 MINUTES
THE SHARE
One person shares a challenge while everyone Listens. No interrupting, no fixing. Just listening for how they are seeing the situation, and the exact words they use.
5 MINUTES
THE REFRAMES
The person turns away or turns off their camera and simply receives. The group offers short “What if” and “I wonder” perspectives. Not advice. New angles, offered with warmth.
1 MINUTE
THE REFLECTION
The person comes back and names one word for how they feel, and one thing they want to take with them. That is the whole round.

COMMON client QUESTIONS
-
Run a 9-Minute Reframe on your own, with confidence. It's a short, structured method: someone shares a challenge, the group offers “What if” and “I wonder” perspectives, and in nine minutes the stuck thinking loosens and new options show up. The workbook teaches you how to lead that, start to finish.
-
No. You need to set a clear frame, keep time, and remind people to stay in “What if” and “I wonder.” That's it. The structure does the heavy lifting, not your credentials. Most people find that after two or three rounds, the group starts carrying it for them.
-
This is the same method I run live for teams, where sessions start at $7,500. The workbook hands you that method to run yourself, as many times as you like, for $199. It's everything I've learned across hundreds of sessions: what to say, when to step in, and how to keep a room on track. The same thinking, in your hands.
-
Completely normal, and the workbook walks you through it. There's a whole section on getting buy-in, keeping the stakes low, and what to say when someone pushes back. You won't be improvising. By the time you run your first session, you'll know exactly how to handle it.
-
Run as many as you like, that's the whole point. One purchase covers one person running the method. If a few people on your team want to moderate, or you're thinking about a wider rollout, just reach out and we'll find the right way to set it up.
-
I don't offer refunds, but I also don't want you stuck with it. If something isn't clear after you've read it, email me and we'll set up fifteen minutes. People rarely need to, but the door is always open.
-
It's been used inside Google, HSBC, Shutterstock, Capital One, and many others, on big stages and in small team meetings. But the part I love most is simpler: someone walks in stuck, and nine minutes later the whole room feels different. You're not buying my word for it.
You're getting the structure so you can watch it happen yourself.

For purchasers, that includes a fifteen-minute call if you ever need one. People rarely do, and I'd rather you have it and not need it.
