Conversation Road Map
The Conversation Road Map is a flexible guide designed to help people move into a more personal, meaningful conversation — at their own pace.
Rather than scripting what to say, this tool offers a clear structure and gentle prompts that support curiosity, reflection, and mutual understanding. Each participant decides how much they want to share, with the option to pause or pass at any point.
Think of it as a guide you can return to whenever you’re unsure what to ask next.
How It’s Used
This roadmap outlines a simple arc for a One Small Step conversation and designed to be printed or used digitally.
Use this guide to:
- Support first-time One Small Step participants
- Provide structure without over-directing the conversation
- Help partners know when to switch roles
- Encourage personal storytelling over debate
- Offer gentle prompts when the conversation slows or feels uncertain
Participants can follow the roadmap from start to finish or use it as a reference, returning to it as needed.
