| 10 Really
Effective Leading Techniques
Welcome people to your program - use an inviting voice and
attitude, ask people to check in but don't force it.
- Synthesize - Students rave about gaining the ability
to synthesize 10 different things people are saying into
a single crystallized statement.
- Ask your participants to talk about how they would
apply a learned technique.
- Meaning:Ask any question, get different answers
/ views
- Ask participants where they would go NOW given
the varied answers.
- Challenge them to find a way to crystallize/synthesize
and come up with a solution/answer that includes the
best of everyone's thinking.
- Summarize - after each section of Question, Dialogue,
Weave, summarize the key points that were made during
the dialogue.
- Popcorn - when a participant shares something that
is of value to everyone, ask them to expand on what they
are saying. You may ask them to say more, challenge them
to think bigger & expand the idea, apply light pressure.
This is always after asking their permission to question
/ probe further.
- Endorsing - "that's great because. . ." - affirming
why it matters in context, why it's valuable.
- Situationalize everything - "How can you use this right
now in your life?" (push them a little to give the answer
or get group involved with ideas).
- Call management - get peoples names and keep it moving.
- Avoid stepovers! - Make sure that anyone who speaks
up gets his or her turn to speak. If several people speak
at once, stop them and queue them up.
- Cut people off - Wait for a breath and interrupt; if
your eyes are rolling it's too late; some people don't
have an idea about time & 'hogging' conversational space.
- Give audible feedback while participants share. (e.g.
mm, yes, mm-mmm) This helps the participant know that
you (and everyone else) are there and listening.
One step that will double the retention....
Technique: ask the participants to situationalize/personalize/customize
your advice.
- Give your general advice as you weave in a key point.
- Ask students to adjust it to fit their own needs and
tell you/group how they are going to take what you just
suggested and convert/tweak it to fit for them exactly.
- Give them one minute of silence where everyone writes
down a response and THEN shares -this works best.
