🤝 Pledge Wall

What will you do next after this meeting – specifically? In Pledge Wall, everyone writes down one small, doable step and honestly rates how sure they are to get it done. Then the team roots for each other: everyone can give 🤞 to up to three others. The stage ends with a pledge wall – a tailwind rather than a checklist.

How Pledge Wall works

1. Everyone writes down one concrete next step.
2. Each person rates their confidence from 0 to 100%.
3. Then everyone crosses their fingers for up to three others.
4. The stage shows the pledge wall with all next steps, confidence and supporters.

FAQ

Are there points?

No. Pledge Wall is deliberately not a competition – the crossed fingers are support, not a rating.
