One Of The Biggest Mistakes You Can Ever Make In A Meeting

Posted August 11, 2021

Being social creatures ourselves, we tend to gravitate towards the vocal ones in our meetings and demos.

Seems innocent enough, right?

When we do that, or worse yet, assume that the vocal ones are the main influencers, while neglecting the quiet ones;

We fail on many levels!

We miss out on their input and knowing where they stand.

We leave them with a sense that their perspective didn’t matter and they feel like they were never heard.

We also miss out on an opportunity to stand out because these quiet ones;

Are used to being overpowered by the “alphas” in the meeting.

So imagine if we come along and give them that opportunity to be heard?

Oh, and don’t kid yourself;

The quiet ones might not speak up in a meeting, but;

They will voice their opinion!

Probably when you’re not there to direct the conversation.

In what ways can you facilitate a meeting where you have a higher level of engagement, especially with;

The quiet ones?
