Toby and team are meeting to generate some ideas. Sarah has a brilliant one, but will her voice be heard?
Enhanced engagement, greater accessibility, sustained learning. These are just some of the benefits of using creative digital resources in our work. At Management Futures we are developing new ways to promote and sustain inclusion. For this Learning Lab we invite you to play with one of our interactive videos and then join us, live and online, to explore the themes inside it.
Let us introduce to you Sarah’s Big Idea. Take a few minutes to take part in the meeting and hear Sarah’s contribution.
It gets ignored. It gets repeated by someone else, and Sarah gets spoken over. What happens next is up to you, as we offer a variety of branching paths in which the meeting scenario might play out.
Questions for before, during and after our Lab include ‘What can Sarah do about all this?’ and ‘How might those around her really step-up as allies?’. We’re curious to find out how much psychological safety team-leader Toby is creating, and what ideas you have to offer him and his colleagues.
We’ll use Sarah’s Big Idea as the starting point to discuss how moments like these happen in organisations, what’s at their crux, and what we can do to speak-up or listen-up.
During this interactive learning lab, you will:
- Experience the impact of non-verbal behaviours on our own sense of self.
- Analyse what can prevent us from being heard and come to know what we can do about it.
- Reflect on our own role and responsibility in enabling an inclusive culture; one where we feel free to speak-up and listen-up.
- Discover the importance of Belonging Cues, actions we can take and signals that we can send-out, to help us all belong.
- Please watch and interact with Sarah’s Big Idea so that you get the most out of this Learning Lab. Also, feel free to share the link to this resource, https://www.managementfutures.co.uk/post/sarahs-big-idea, use it in your work and invite others to enjoy the experience too!
