FAQ - Small Group Concerns

What do you do when one person in your group is dominating the conversation?

This is probably one of the most difficult problems that you'll have in leading a small group. You must deal with it or it will kill the group. here are some suggestions:

  • Handle it openly.
    "Okay, let's hear from some others now. We haven't heard from some of you."
  • Handle it openly and directly.
    Try to it light even making it into a joke.
    "Tom, your answers are right-on, but let's hear from some other people in the group."
  • Handle it privately.
    The best forum is face to face.
    "Sue, you really do a nice job answering questions, but I am concerned that Bob and Doris haven't gotten much of a chance to say anything. Do you mind waiting on some of your answers to give them a chance?"
