Tame the Talkers: Making Space for Every Voice

Big personalities can bring energy, but when one voice takes over, the team loses out.  In this lively episode, we dive into practical ways to tame the talkers, without shutting them down.  Discover facilitation moves that give quieter voices confidence and create balance: one-word openers, rotating debriefers, visible timeboxes (yes, even sand timers!), structured breakouts, dot voting, and parking lot magic.  We’ll also share a respectful coaching script to partner with strong contributors, so they help lift the conversation instead of steering it.  The result?  Less over talkers, more dialogue, and every voice in the room heard!
