Dominant personalities, a power struggle brewing! Let's defuse the bomb. Power Struggle Prevention Tactics: The group-hugging leader: Foster a sense of unity and belonging. The time-keeping referee: Enforce strict time limits for each participant. The spotlight-sharing magician: Rotate the spotlight to ensure everyone gets a chance to speak. The gentle-reminder ninja: Privately remind dominant personalities to be mindful of others. The team-building superhero: Organize activities that promote collaboration and teamwork. Remember, a harmonious group coaching session is like a well-orchestrated symphony. Use these tactics to keep everyone in tune and avoid power struggles.

PREPARATION IS KEY: Establish clear ground rules from the start, emphasizing respect and equal participation. Use structured activities that give everyone a chance to speak, and tactfully redirect conversations if one person begins to dominate. Encourage active listening and mutual respect by modeling these behaviors yourself. By maintaining a balanced and inclusive environment, you can ensure that all voices are heard, fostering a productive and collaborative group dynamic.

Consider adding a bit of fun in group coaching sessions when there are dominant personality types. A dominant person is not trying to be overbearing in many cases, they are gifted at cutting to the chase, dealing with facts, and making decisions. In another context, they are praised as strong leaders. Role play by giving the quieter and introspective players a place to shine. One can be assigned as "devil's advocate". They come up with intentional reasons to challenge the dominant person, forcing them to prove their point and the group votes if they succeed. Appoint a quieter member as "king of the meeting". No one can speak or express their opinion unless the king extends their scepter. Rotate these roles or choose them randomly.
