When you're a first time manager, it can be difficult to get your team to speak up in meetings. Due to fear of being negatively judged, they might sit silently in the meeting and refuse to freely share their ideas, thoughts and opinions - even when you ask them to do so! Speaking up in meetings is a common fear for many professionals. But it doesn't help you as a manager or leader to draw out the intelligence and valuable ideas from people in your team (this is why you hired them!). So how can you get them to contribute? How can you get your team to speak up in meetings? That's what we'll cover in this video.

There are a number of strategies at your disposal as a manager or leader that will help you get your team to speak up and contribute more at work. From developing psychological safety, to asking clear questions to using activities to get people relaxed so they want to contribute. It's part of your job to learn "how" you can get the most from your team. You will learn about all of this in the video.
