From 156 coaching tools, these 5 fit your challenge:

1. 30 Circles

   A fast divergent-thinking warm-up that breaks the group's fear of bad ideas, priming them to generate quantity before they judge for quality.

2. Jobs to be Done (JTBD)

   Reframes the creative brief around the real job people are hiring a product or service to do, opening up ideas the group would miss by starting from the solution.

3. altMBA - Reimagining Models

   Prompts the group to challenge the assumptions baked into how things are done now, a structured way to spark genuinely new possibilities.

4. 35 Game (Thiagi)

   A fast group method for surfacing and ranking ideas: everyone writes ideas on cards, then pairs swap and score them, so the strongest thinking rises without anyone dominating the room.

5. Liberating Structures

   Gives you idea-generation microstructures like 1-2-4-All that pull ideas from everyone, not just the confident few, widening the creative pool.
