Running meetings and workshops can be hard work.

Particularly when you ask questions or seek input, ideas and contributions ...Silence can be common.

*Crickets*

Meeting Fatigue

People are meeting fatigued, weary (and wary) of another session seeking their ideas or contributions and participation. Engagement needs to be earned and participation and contribution can't be assumed just because you're holding a meeting.

The Same Voices

It can be hard to engage and inspire people or bring new voices in to a topic, particularly when the same voices or 'the usual suspects' answer swiftly, respond frequently or provide the bulk of the content.Why is this happening? And what can you do about it?

Is it me... or them?

Many people wonder what they could do differently to change the vibe, mood and participation rate in meetings and workshops.They ask questions, run activities and seek ideas and input, but still ... silence, or reluctant contributions.

What's going on - and what can you do to increase participation in the meeting and contribution to the process and outcomes?

The need for better collaboration and greater co-creation is increasing. Working with colleagues, clients, customers and stakeholders is a must and doing this online or in person, or hybrid, means we need to bring some potentially new and different ways of leading, facilitating and designing to our meetings and workshops. 

In this Masterclass, we'll work through 10 techniques to :

• ESTABLISH a safe meeting and workshop environment
• GENERATE participation and contributions, and
• CURATE and collect the varying ideas, voices and thoughts from the attendees in your sessions. 

It may just change the way you plan, lead and facilitate meetings and workshops.
