The Async Shift
This is a practical workshop that moves a call-heavy team towards making decisions and progress without everyone being live at once. The session includes a short async pre-task and a live async round, so the team experiences the shift rather than only discussing it.

1Step 1: Check-in, our call count
Open the session by making the team's call load visible through a quick poll and pre-task discussion.
