It is important for us to have everyone involved in the organization and make their voices heard. We aim for diversity and inclusion, and so we like to give everyone time and space to participate. We acknowledge that some people can take up more space than others, but we invite everyone to voice their opinion or explain what they need to let themselves be heard. This may include some time to process certain information in advance in a meeting, after a meeting or scheduling a one-on-one meeting.
Some inspiration that shows the power of introverts:
We have one team meeting a week, on Monday. We love to have everyone join in our meetings, but sometimes, clients or holidays can get in the way. Let us know on Slack if you can’t join because being late to the team meeting means singing a song!
We use the Miro board to lay down the topics being discussed in the meeting, and use stickies to prepare for the meeting in advance.
Our Monday meetings are all about connecting our weekly objectives with our quarterly goals, as well as about celebrating our achievements.
