Safe Enough to Stay Silent
Thursday, July 20, 2023 @ 12:00 pm — 1:00pm (MDT)
Facilitators often worry about how to bring out quiet voices. Silence can be a sign that people are withholding their ideas because they do not feel safe enough to speak up. But silence is not something to eliminate entirely! This session will explore productive and unproductive uses of silence in group meetings. Find out how high performing teams use silence well and how to talk to your team about silence.
Please note: All of our Learning Labs are interactive sessions using Zoom and Miro. They are not just us talking to a slideshow. We invite all participants to collaborate on a virtual whiteboard (Miro) and engage in conversations with us and each other. While you are welcome to join in audio-only mode, it will be a challenge to participate, and you may not get much out of the session. Because these sessions are interactive, we do not record them. If you are not familiar with Miro, you can learn more at academy.miro.com.
