• If you were [character name], how might you approach this situation?

• What are the implications or consequences of not taking action to resolve this conflict?
• If not addressed, how might this situation escalate?
• What is the opportunity here?
• How is this situation relevant within our team/department/organization?
• If you were [character name], what could you do to reinforce our commitment to diversity?
