Show what you built · let's roll. Everyone presents. Four minutes each. Three questions from peers. Not a contest · a library swap. HOW IT ROLLS Four minutes. Show. Move on. ★ Open with the demo No setup speech. Hit run. Show the screen. ★ Name the problem you solved One sentence. The HR ache that drove this build. ★ Say what surprised you The thing that made you change direction mid-week. ★ 3 questions from peers Quick · curious · not "what about edge case X." Build on the moment. ★ Next builder up Q passes the mic. We track the rolling order live. WHILE EACH PEER PRESENTS Capture, don't judge. ★ NOTE 1 · STEAL The one move from this build I'm taking back. ★ NOTE 2 · WHO ELSE NEEDS IT Someone in my org this would help on Monday. ★ NOTE 3 · WHAT I'D EXTEND One step further than what they showed. END OF ROUND Pick 3 builds. Tell those 3 builders what you'll steal. That's how every person in this room leaves with 3 new ideas + an audience of 3 saying "yours mattered to me." No winners named. Three "I'll steal yours" notes is worth more than a trophy. ↩ HOME Session 5 · Slide 5/10
Peer review · pick three to learn from Not a contest. Each of you names three builds that taught you something. Three different lenses. Everyone gets named. ★ LENS 1 · NEW MOVE Taught me something new WHEN YOU'D PICK IT A combination of zones I hadn't tried. A prompt structure I'm copying. "How did you think of that?" ★ YOUR PICK · NAME + WHY [Peer · build · what you'll try] Write it · tell them after the round · let them know. WHAT THEY GET BACK A written note from you · one specific line about what their build unlocked for you. No medal. Just "yours mattered to me." ★ LENS 2 · I'D SHIP THIS I'd ship this at my org WHEN YOU'D PICK IT The recipe is clean enough to fork Monday. My whole HR team could use this. "This is our next pilot." ★ YOUR PICK · NAME + WHERE [Peer · build · who at your org needs it] Name the team you'd hand it to. That's the gift. WHAT THEY GET BACK Knowing their build has a real audience outside their company. That's portfolio fuel. Pilot signal > trophy. ★ LENS 3 · CHANGED MY WEEK Made me rethink my week WHEN YOU'D PICK IT Hours saved you can feel, not just count. A move so simple I'm angry I didn't try it. "This changes my Monday." ★ YOUR PICK · NAME + IMPACT [Peer · build · what shifts in your week] Be specific. "Will save my Fridays" is gold. WHAT THEY GET BACK The clearest signal that what they built changes a real human's real work. 12 people · 36 picks · everyone gets named. ↩ HOME Session 5 · Slide 6/10

We read them all. 2 A new vocabulary Skill · Routine · MCP · CLEAR. You can hold the room now. REFLECTION PROMPT "Which one word from this course would have most changed how you did your job 12 months ago?" USE IT In your next 1:1 with your CHRO. Watch what changes. 3 11 other people The cohort. People who get it. Who'll ping back when you ping. REFLECTION PROMPT "Who in this cohort do you want to make sure you stay connected to · and why?"
