Same question. Start and end. The room sees what changed.
Did it land? Show the shift, live, in your Google Slides
Most sessions end with "any questions?" and a feedback form nobody fills in. You walk out not knowing whether it worked, and neither does your client.
This play fixes that in two slides. Ask one question as people arrive. Ask exactly the same question before you close. Then show both answers side by side, on the slide, in your deck's own style. Everyone in the room sees the shift together, and you leave with evidence.
A scripted preview with simulated votes.
Why it works
It makes the learning visible. People rarely notice their own progress. Seeing the room move from mostly 3s and 4s to mostly 7s and 8s gives a session a clear ending, rather than letting it trail off.
It gives your client a number. If you deliver training for someone else, "the team rated their confidence 4.1 before and 7.6 after" belongs in your follow-up email. It's the start of your next proposal.
It's anonymous, so it's honest. Nobody puts their hand up to say "I have no idea how to do this." On a phone, they will. Your starting point is real, so your shift is too.
It costs you two minutes. One tap at the start, one tap at the end. No form, no link, no follow-up email chasing responses.
A note on honesty. This measures how confident people feel, not what they can actually do. That's still useful (it's level 1 to 2 territory in the Kirkpatrick model), but don't oversell it. People also tend to overrate themselves at the start, before they know what they don't know. That can make the shift look smaller than it really is. If that matters for your session, see the "Look back" variation below.
When to use it
- Training and workshops where the point is a change in skill or confidence
- Client workshops where you need to show the engagement was worth paying for
- Sales enablement and onboarding sessions with a clear "after this you'll be able to…" goal
- Change sessions and town halls where you want to know whether people's view moved
Skip it for pure information sessions (nothing to shift) or anything under 20 minutes (no time for anything to change).
How to run it
- Pick one question about the outcome, not the content. "How confident are you that you can run a discovery call using this framework?" beats "How well do you understand discovery?"
- Ask it early, after the intro and before any teaching. Don't show the results yet. Use blind mode so the room only sees how many have voted. You don't want to anchor anyone.
- Run your session. Teach, discuss and practise as you normally would.
- Ask exactly the same question near the end. Do it before the Q&A and the wrap-up, while everyone is still in the room.
- Reveal both together. Put the before and after charts side by side, pause, and let the room react. Then ask: "What moved you?" That's often the best five minutes of the day.
- Keep the report. Doppio saves every run, so the before and after results are there for your follow-up email or client debrief.
Question sets you can steal
| Context | Question | Scale |
|---|---|---|
| Skills training | How confident are you that you could [do the thing] tomorrow? | Score, 1 to 10 |
| Client workshop | How clear is the team on [the decision / the plan]? | Score, 1 to 10 |
| Change or strategy session | How do you feel about [the change]? | Emotion, miserable to delighted |
| Enablement / onboarding | I know exactly what to do differently on Monday. | Strongly disagree to strongly agree |
Try it
This page runs the play on its own readers.
Before you read on: how confident are you that you could show a client your last session actually worked?
Now that you've read it: same question. How confident are you now?
The shift so far: – people have answered. Average before: –. Average after: –.
Add this to my Google Slides
You get a 6-slide deck in your Google Drive with both polls already set up and linked, a results slide, and facilitator notes on every slide. Change the question, drop your content in the middle, and present as normal.
Free. No credit card. Works in your existing Google Slides.
Variations
- Look back. Ask once, at the end, in two parts: "How confident were you at the start?" and "How confident are you now?" It's less precise but avoids the start-of-session overconfidence problem, and it's useful when you can't ask at the start.
- Three points. Add a middle check after the first big block. If the line goes flat, you know which part didn't work.
- Before, after, 30 days. Send the same question to the group a month later. (Coming soon.)
Questions
Do people need an app?
No. They scan a QR code on the slide and vote in their phone's browser.
Can the client see the results afterwards?
Every run is saved in your Doppio dashboard, and you can export a branded PDF report.
What if I present without Doppio installed?
The slides show a static preview of the poll, so nothing breaks. It just won't be live.
Does this work on Zoom or Teams?
Yes. Share your Slides as normal; people scan the QR code from their screen or open the join link.
