Covid-19 clearly has the power to affect us all mentally as well as in a physical sense. I saw this and wanted to share as I thought it was thought provoking. #inthistogether #staystrong

Be considerate and generous to others at the meeting, get used to contributing a helpful question, observation or idea, and ask to be added to the agenda when you have something significant to offer.

Don't spring new information on the attendees and expect an immediate flurry of thoughtful responses – give people time to prepare.

How to Help Others to Get Their Voices Heard?If you're chairing or facilitating the meeting yourself, be sure to make it a safe and productive environment for everyone:
•Lead by example and set the tone for non-judgmental, inclusive and respectful behaviour.
#londoncoach #coach

[The Development Coach @ChristinaGCoach]

Be encouraging,pick up on ideas and develop them – but don't take the credit!
•Invite contributions from everyone so that no one leaves without speaking.

Consider wearing brighter colours,nice shirts,a smart suit,lipstick, and for the guys, attentive grooming.Visualise yourself as confident.What type of leader do you want to be and how would that leader look?Take actions as if you were that person already and dress the part.

[The Development Coach @ChristinaGCoach]

What you wear can help you be more present?
Can something as mundane as what you wear serve to help you become more present, visible and properly valued? Actually, yes, it can. Are you wearing darker colours?

When You're Feeling Confident show your confidence!Meetings are expensive for the company-just add up the hourly rate of everyone present! So they need to be worthwhile and effective to larger groups at work, or even some training in public speaking will help.

It's far better to say one of the following:
•I wonder if we might also consider
•I see it differently because
•I agree to some extent, but I have some doubts about

Tips not what to say…..
Avoid saying, "I disagree." People hear this and immediately feel confronted and annoyed, and they'll probably stop listening to you.

[The Development Coach @ChristinaGCoach]

Once you've said what you want to say, simply finish speaking. People will appreciate your efficient delivery.

[The Development Coach @ChristinaGCoach]

Keep It Short,With No Apology
Start and end your contribution with conviction.Avoid starting with an apologetic "I'm sorry,but"This will immediately weaken your position. Start proudly and strongly with,"I'd like to say"or"Can I just add?"

Take advantage of the fact that you'll likely be reflective, strategic, thoughtful, a good listener, and observant. You can draw on these attributes in two ways: in the lead-up to the meeting, research the subject under discussion and plan what you want to say or ask!#londoncoach
