Here are a couple of the ways Jill suggests we can hold inclusive meetings: 🤝 Encourage others to contribute first when you hold positional power. 🤝 Provide options to contribute after the meeting. 🤝 Normalise questions and challenges.

"If I'd known people were going to say all these lovely things about me, I would have left earlier!" How often do people discover too late the extent to which they have been valued, that their qualities have been appreciated, their capabilities admired, that they had influenced others' lives in a meaningful way ... ? One of the greatest responsibilities we have in our leadership is to create the conditions for success - the success of our shared endeavour. When people feel seen, they grow. They contribute to success. It's simple. Why wait?

It is a common misconception that "soft skills" are innate talents that individuals are either born with or without. While temperament does play a role, developing effective communication, setting boundaries, practising active listening, recognizing one's weaknesses, and finding passion in all endeavours require effort and dedication.
