Many people who run meetings need better skills in making room for quieter/introverted folks. For example, when I run project retrospectives, I start with 10 minutes of (quiet) individual processing re the criteria of the project’s outcome, then everyone gets an opportunity to contribute their feedback to the group. I’ve received positive feedback in this method from women especially, and I think it would also benefit junior staff who may feel too intimidated to jump into the feedback loop.
I'm balanced on the Camera. If I need to engage, camera on. If I need to listen, I'll often put the camera off, get up, and do something with my hands like dishes or laundry so I'm not distracted and can focus.
Thank you very much for your advice!
Very useful tips. Thankfully, I have now retired!
