What about managing your broadcast behaviours?

Following the previous post on handling other's broadcast behaviours, here are more ideas to test, this time applied to yourself.

  1. (M) Make your point. As consultants we are often expected to offer our point-of-view. Limit your input to what people need to know ... not everything you know.
  2. (I) Invite others in. Ask questions which encourage people to comment on, or challenge, what you said. Remember to stay open ... don't be defensive.
  3. (G) Guide the dialogue. Try listening, acknowledging and then summarising what people add to your point-of-view.

Another acronym. M.I.G.

(By the way, did you know in the game of marbles a MIG is one of the marbles players try to knock out of the ring?)

The Mini-Mission

Test one of the M.I.G. ideas. Then let me know how you get on.
