At team meetings on CPD the same people always talk, so they become predictable. How do I encourage other people to contribute?

It’s common problem. Two tactics. One; I try to let people know what is on the agenda via a brief email on the morning of the session. NOT a long agenda. as that puts people off as well. Two: I think it is down to the meeting leader to moderate the session actively and to politely close down the over zealous contributors and directly ask from contributions from EVERYONE present. Setting up that regular expectation and sticking to it will stop the sessions being dominated by the same people. Clear agreed actions out the back of any meeting are always also essential.
