Ode to the Prebrief

Before the monitors beep and the drama unfolds,
Before brave hands act and brave hearts hold,
There is a quiet moment, soft and clear,
Where voices gather and minds draw near.

In this space, we pause and prepare,
To speak of purpose, to show we care.
We shape the scene, the rules, the role—
Not to test today, but to grow the soul.

Good judgment here, no need for disguise,
Just curiosity behind open eyes.
We name the fiction, honor the frame,
Level the field—no guilt, no shame.

Psychological safety is where it starts,
To calm the nerves and open the hearts.
We ask for presence, invite each voice,
To learn with courage is a conscious choice.

The manikin waits, still and wise,
Holding the chance for a rich surprise.
Not in perfection, but in reflection,
Lies the gift of deeper connection.

So we gather, not just to rehearse,
But to co-create a learning universe.
A breath before action, a commitment to try—
This is the power of the prebrief.
