​How do you engage the quiet people?

​You know, the ones who are a bit more shy and introverted and have a hard time speaking up in your group?

​Imagine you're running a fun activity, and one person doesn't seem to participate much. You decide to put them on the spot and ask them a question. Suddenly, they become flustered, their face turns red, and you can sense the awkwardness in the room.

​I used to be that person.

​Being the centre of attention and having all eyes staring at me - used to be my worst nightmare.

​This is why I call myself a recovering shy-guy, and I made it my mission to help others design an experience that doesn’t make them feel left out.

​In this workshop, I’ll share what’s going on in a quiet person’s head when you lead your “silly” icebreaker at the start that makes them want to disappear. So, whether you’re an introvert or extrovert, you’ll walk away with specific frameworks and strategies for including everyone.

​You’ll learn my step-by-step methodology to make the most of every voice in the room, ensuring that even the quietest participants feel heard and valued. This balances the voices of all participants, ensuring that loud participants don't take over the meeting, while also helping shy participants find their voice.

​By the end of the workshop, you’ll be confident to create a space where everyone feels invited to share their ideas and perspectives, leading to a more productive, inclusive and engaging experience for all.

​In this interactive workshop, you'll:

• ​Learn different methods to encourage participation and engagement from all participants.

• ​Learn how to balance the voices of all participants, making sure that no one takes over the meeting and even introverted participants feel seen, heard and valued.

• ​Leave inspired with tangible tips on how to improve your meetings by turning them into inclusive, engaging, and collaborative experiences.

​Are you passionate about facilitating meaningful connections and leading engaging group experiences? Then this event is for you!

​Hosted at the Mentimeter Office in Toronto, this is a unique opportunity for facilitators, trainers, experience designers, and anyone leading groups to come together for an evening of networking, learning, and genuine connection.

​What to Expect:

• ​Learning: Inspired by a recent successful workshop at a conference in Prague, we will explore how to create inclusive meetings and workshop environments that empower quiet, shy, introverted, and reserved participants to contribute and engage effectively.

• ​Experience: Experience the magic of my signature "ice melting" activities that will set the tone for an evening of open and meaningful interactions. This is like a sneak peek of the full experience from my upcoming facilitator training program, “The Art of MELTING the Ice,” happening the following week.

• ​Connection: Meet like-minded professionals who share your passion for creating deep connections. Exchange ideas and tips and support each other in a casual yet facilitated environment.

​I am back in Toronto for only a couple of days to visit friends, attend a summer camp, and run my in-person facilitator training, so don’t miss out on this chance to be part of a community dedicated to making every group interaction a deeply connected and inclusive experience.

​I hope you can join us 😊🙏
