Two-Tier Meeting

The people in the room are having the real conversation and the remote squares are watching it happen. Nobody decided to sideline them, the in-room energy just moves faster than anyone can join from a screen. Hand the floor to the remote side first, by name, until the two halves are one meeting again.

Say this — right now

Let me pause the room for a second. Remote folks - [Name], what's your take on that last point?

Word for word is fine. The room won't know.

Work the move

01Call on remote participants first, and by name - never "anyone?"
02Rotate an assigned-speaker list so everyone knows they'll be asked
03Use "one device per person" so in-room people appear as equal tiles
04Debrief remote attendees afterward: "Did you feel heard?"

Next time —

Open with "In-room and remote are equally important today - I'll actively call on everyone"
