Speak Up, Speak Out – Increasing Your Presence and Value In Meetings

“It happened again. The meeting is just about over and we’re no closer to consensus on this upcoming project than when the meeting began two hours ago! To make matters worse, I didn’t contribute much to this meeting!” 

If this feels familiar, you’re not alone. Running effective meetings and encouraging engagement takes great skill. At the same time, being a participant who feels comfortable making contributions is vital for your organization. Using David Kantor’s structural dynamics theory of interpersonal interactions, we will explore the communication styles of your team or organization and help members identify the roles they commonly play in meetings. As a result of this experiential process, participants will recognize the extent to which their style is working for them and commit to being more flexible in expanding their behavioral repertoire. Through didactic and small group exercises, participants will understand the benefits and challenges of each communication and action stance, commit to trying out different roles and experience a sense of empowerment and renewed confidence as they become equipped to engage in more productive dialogue.
