Trainings & Workshops

The research is clear: teams perform best when all members feel psychologically safe and participate fully. But in reality, who speaks in your meetings? Do you end up hearing from the same people, over and over? Those who talk the most in meetings are not necessarily the smartest or most expert, but they may be the people with the highest status, confidence, extraversion, or English language familiarity. How about the others? This is what we call the “qualified quiet.” Your organization is very likely leaving good ideas from the “qualified quiet” on the table in almost every meeting.

I offer workshops and trainings to teach companies and teams how optimize to their meetings. I teach executives how to create environments where everyone feels able to participate, even if they have opposing views or dissenting opinions.
