A better review.
In 17 minutes.

Bring a draft.
Practice a different way to see it.

A self-serve walkthrough of the same habit as the book: seat one Empty Chair, review the draft from that seat, then decide what to change. Not a prompt library.

An empty chair at a table, ready for another perspective
17minutesOne piece of work.
One missing perspective.
What you’ll practice

A small pause.
A more considered next step.

Use a proposal, customer reply, plan, or other piece of AI-assisted work as your starting point.

  1. 01

    Put the work on the table.

    Make the Ask clear. What does this draft need to help someone decide or do?

  2. 02

    Choose the Empty Chair.

    Identify the person closest to that outcome. Consider their situation and what the draft leaves unanswered.

  3. 03

    Review before you rewrite.

    Sort the observations. Decide what to use, what to check, and what does not belong in the next draft.

Make the habit useful

Bring the work
you already have.

You don’t need a special project. Start with the reply you’re about to send, the proposal you’re reviewing, or the change your team needs to explain.

The walkthrough helps you notice the moment when another perspective matters. AI can suggest what you may have missed; you remain responsible for checking it.

For a team, that creates a shared question to ask before work moves forward: who hasn’t seen this yet?
