An Open Frame provides an opportunity for anyone to raise any comments or questions about the material that interests them.  This frame can promote inclusion and therefore build rapport with participants and can be applied in various situations, such as in a training environment or in a meeting.

This is used in NLP trainings. An ‘Open Frame’ on a course or in a meeting or presentation provides an opportunity to ask any questions or provide any comments about the topic or subject area under discussion. For example, the trainer might ask: ‘Is there anything whatsoever you want to ask about NLP?’
