People are different but all have the need to belong.

We all need to have space to share our thoughts knowing we will not be interrupted.

Why do we need to change the way we run our business meetings?

    • Too many meetings are run by the most senior person whose voice is the only voice in the room (Online or face to face)
    • The loudest personality in the room overwhelms everything.
    • The agenda is pre-set and there is no room for discussion
    • Badly run meetings impact the bottom line due to talent feeling stifled
    • Introverted talent is crushed and voiceless
    • Vision is limited
    • The great resignation flourishes and people continue to leave in droves.
    • Toxic culture
    • There is a fertile void where people are not listened to
