 I HATE MY JOB! Have you ever heard that from an employee? They are seemingly disgruntled and grumpy all of the time. They come to work in a bad mood and seem to pull everyone down with them. You don’t know what to do or how to get them out of this “funk” they are in. You bring them in for a meeting and inevitably ask the question we all ask: “So what are your aspirations? Do you have some goals in the organization? Where do you see yourself in five years?”  How many times have you led a group meeting and said, “So what does everyone think about …” only to be answered with complete silence and people looking down at their knees? Why don’t people speak up?
Think about how pre-COVID-19 training sessions or meetings started.

After five to ten minutes, the meeting would start and people would inevitably continue to interact and share ideas.
