What is this lunch talk about?
Guiding a discussion means paying attention to both the task and the people in the room. Explore how purpose, listening and well-timed interventions help a group use its knowledge more effectively.
Short role-plays and peer feedback introduce ways to invite contributions, manage tension and use simple tools. Participants also practise closing a discussion with clear ownership and follow-up.
Choose from 30, 45, 60, 90 or 120, for 1 to 25 participants onsite, virtually or at an arranged venue. Scenarios can reflect the meetings and group challenges your teams handle.
