Some people aren’t quiet because they have nothing to say they’re just waiting for a chance to speak. In fast moving group conversations it’s easy for someone to get talked over several times and eventually stop trying.

A simple “you were saying something?” Or “I’d like to hear the rest of your point.” can make them feel included and envoy them to join back in. It also helps create a more balanced conversation where everyone has a chance to contribute.

It’s a small gesture but it can make someone feel seen, heard and much more comfortable being part of the group.
