Assertiveness in Meeting Management

Customizable in length and duration 

OVERVIEW

Lack of assertiveness in meetings can be awkward and painful – have you ever been in a meeting where everyone waits for someone else to speak? Often, we fear that others won’t like or agree with what we have to say. Sometimes we need a minute to get clear on our thinking. At times, we are intimidated by the leader of the group.

The reality is, nothing gets done in meetings where people don’t feel psychologically safe and free to share, brainstorm, and think through new ideas. This module will empower you to lead your meetings more assertively, to ensure everyone’s voice is heard and you are leveraging all the talent on your team.

• Learn tools and techniques for getting people to speak up in meetings
