• Team cohesion: The first aspect to take into account is to reinforce the idea that the participants in the meeting are part of a team and have common goals. • Enhancing the participation of all members • Ensure that everyone has their say. • Avoid monopolisation of the meeting by a few. • Look at who is not participating and encourage them to do so: Susana, you were working on a similar issue, what do you think about it? It is important not to force the situation and try to find points where you think the person can be confident. • Respecting the right to speak. • Enhancing respect among members. It is important to create a climate in which all members feel valued. • When speaking, look at everyone in the room and do not always personalise your comments to the same people.
