I offer coaches and trainers tools that provide practical insights and foster in-depth conversations about communication, leadership, and team dynamics. This includes concrete tips and exercises for immediate development
Have you ever noticed how one teammate’s behavior can influence an entire meeting? 🤔 Picture this: You’re in a meeting, and one of your colleagues takes the lead—they speak assertively, present ideas, and fill the space with their voice and energy 💪🏼 What does everyone else start to do? If you look around, you’ll notice your coworkers start to fall silent, nod, and listen. You witnessed the first law of influence from Leary's Rose in action: 🔄 "Following behavior evokes passive behavior." 🔄 When one person takes control and becomes more dominant or directive, others naturally become more “wait and see” with their communication. (It’s not always a conscious choice; it's human nature to balance out dynamics. That’s why the SOI 360 is based on this model!) And the opposite? It’s also true! Imagine the same meeting, but everyone is waiting for someone else to take the floor this time. 🦗 Silence hangs in the air, almost inviting someone to speak up. Passive behavior encourages dominance—the quieter or more silent we become, the more others feel triggered to take the lead. Knowing these laws of influence is the first step toward becoming more aware of how your behavior triggers your teammates’ reactions. → Are you talking too much and preventing others from contributing? → Are you waiting too long and unintentionally making someone else take over? How would you describe your behavior in the last meeting you attended? Were you more active or passive? How might you consciously choose your approach to unlock your best collective performance?
