Prime your meeting participants to perform (and have fun…)
When every Teams call merges into the next, it can be hard to get people engaged and excited around virtual workshops.
At The Culture Experiment, we know that energy and enjoyment are vital for an effective meeting – creating the conditions for collaboration and creativity. We also know the process of getting people excited and engaged starts BEFORE your meeting begins…
Psychologists have long known the impact of ‘priming’. Robert Cialdini, one of our all-time fave behavourial psychologists (yep we really have them) states ‘the best persuaders become the best through pre-suasion – the process of arranging for [people] to be receptive to a message before they encounter it’. Put simply: What you do before your meeting hugely impacts what happens during it.
Now, we’re not suggesting you drop subliminal messages into pre-meeting material (‘SEND THE FACILITATOR DOUGHNUTS’) but you can help people bring their best selves to your sessions. Whether it’s an innovation meeting or strategic review, prepare your people to have a FABULOUS time, and be blown away by the quality boost to your output!
