Designate a "devil's advocate" for your meetings
|
The New York Times quotes Kevin Lofton, CEO of Catholic Health Initiatives, about an innovative role for one meeting member:
"In our senior management meetings, we appoint a designated devil's advocate. So if we're discussing a critical issue, we'll appoint someone--and the role rotates--to be the devil's advocate, no matter what their personal point of view is. That helps us avoid groupthink."
The next time your group makes a high-stakes decision, try this out. Then write to me and let me know how it goes!

SELF-TALK WITH SECONDS TO GO
|
Recently, I asked a few excellent public speakers if they employ "self-talk" to boost their energy and confidence right before they take the stage. If so, what do they say? Approximately 75% of those I surveyed told me they regularly deliver an internal message to self in those few seconds. I do, too. This is it: "Guila, - Relax
- Breathe
- Be Yourself."
Other speakers' self-talk includes the following:
- I'm great!
- Get it ON! (Common variation: Let's do this thing.)
- I love doing this, and they love ME.
Hearing your own encouraging, internal voice could help you spring into action with added enthusiasm. Give it a try! (And the next time you see me muttering to myself seconds before I begin, you will know what I am doing.)
