Selected for you

Start with one of these structures in the Share category

The Share category supports you in giving words to experiences, thoughts, and questions that often stay inside. These structures help you externalize what’s present — through writing, mapping, or simple reflection.

Sharing with yourself is not about judging or fixing.
It’s about making your own perspective visible, so you can see it more clearly and relate to it with more space.

Use Share when you want to slow down, clarify what’s alive for you, or create a starting point for reflection.

How to use (and adapt) these structures

Liberating Structures are originally created to work with groups and the different voices that live inside groups. But it turned out that they also work great to guide the conversation with the different voices that live inside you. The magic trick: use templates to follow the questions and always write down your answers. Just ask yourself the right questions, learn to listen and include different views and search for patterns.

Appreciative Interviews

Instead of interviewing someone else about a challenge where they are proud of what they accomplished. You can ask yourself about this story and look for success elements.

Celebrity Interview

Or go a bit more wild and think about someone you admire or look up to. Imagine that you could interview this person on how they handled a challenge like yours. Write down their answers.

Impromptu Networking

Make use of the chance to re-do things. Ask yourself the same question 3 times. Write down your answer every time and see how your answer changes. Repetition is a form of change!

After reading into the different structures, try one out and let us know how it went. Below you will find a simple 4-step approach to get started with using Liberating Structures.
