Do your group sessions fall flat before they’ve even begun?

If you’ve ever felt awkward, unseen, or like you're not in control during a client group session, this episode will flip that script. Whether you're leading a team workshop, a client strategy call, or an internal agency meeting — how you start determines everything.

Welcome to Say What You See — Episode 27

Hosted by Chris Marr, this podcast is for coaches, consultants, and client-facing professionals who want to lead with authority and make every meeting count.

This episode helps you solve:

That shaky start to group calls where energy is low, direction is unclear, and you’re not seen as the leader.

Why it’s worth your time:

You’ll walk away knowing exactly how to show up with confidence, take control of the session from the first minute, and create a dynamic group environment where everyone contributes — without it turning into chaos.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• How to bring “rock band” energy to your sessions (and why it matters)
• The F.O.R. Framework to clearly set Focus, Outcome, and Role in the first 60 seconds
• Why saying everyone’s name early changes the entire group dynamic
• How to use the Connect Method to manage the room and keep the pace
• Practical ways to invite meaningful contribution from every voice — even the quiet ones
• The energy gap most facilitators miss — and how to fix it fast

Already watched? Let’s make this practical...

• What’s one change you’ll make to how you start your next group session?
• What question will you lead with?
• How do you rate your current facilitation energy on a scale of 1–10?

Drop your takeaways, commitments, or questions in the comments — let’s learn from each other.
