Meetings that Engage

We often talk about engaging people, but what do we mean? What is the purpose or goals we want to achieve with this engagement? Are we going to start a movement or have people support a cause? Or could there be other results when we engage people? I mainly want to engage people to get access to their wisdom and use it to create results that benefits both them and the organization.

As a leader I know two things.

1. I will never have as much knowledge and capacity to offer the organization as a room full of engaged people combining their wisdom.
2. I don’t want to carry all the responsibility on my shoulders when I can be supported by other engaged people, who want to be responsible and use their capacity to the fullest.

You might already have discovered that when I talk about engaging people, I don´t talk about engaging as in mobilizing. I mean engaging as in utilizing their full knowledge, wisdom, and capacity so that it could be used to work with what is needed in the organization. This requires engaging them on many levels, such as mind, both conscious and subconscious, spirit, emotions, and body. Now you might think that doing so requires a scientific degree, but it does not! What is needed is the knowledge that together you have so much more wisdom, creativity, and capacity. As the leader, you will also need to allow others to contribute, even when it is your idea, and to be open to surprises. The end result will be so much better and your leadership position so much easier.

The tool we offer is so simple that you might think it can´t do any magic in a complex organization. The truth is that the more complexity, the simpler tools you will need.

It helps to engage the whole person, mind, intuition, spirit, and emotion. You will learn how to start a meeting that engages your participants’ full wisdom and why we do it the way we do.
