I love calling this one out. Early in my career, I always had a lot of ideas that could have been helpful but often found myself quiet and submissive when there were big fancy titles in the room. Passing me the mic would have been a good growth opportunity for me and also help me get my good ideas onto the table.
Or...to quickly hear how bad the ideas are, of course. Either way - growth.
Good post, for me this is essential: "Facilitation starts before you enter the meeting room. Preparation is essential for good meetings"
I once got into a meeting, there was a small agenda, the title was brainstorm and I clearly stated that I hadn't prepare anything to meeting - showing that it's important to communicate if the participants should bring something to the meeting or not. And then we spent 10 minutes discussing the problem we are trying to solve and realised it was something completely different.
When we start with a goal in mind and really say what the meeting is for, we actually increase efficiency
"Give the stage to the quiet ones"
