Ever led a small group where one person treats the discussion like their personal podcast? You ask a question, and suddenly you’re five tangents deep in their life story while the rest of the group mentally checks out. Yeah... we’re going there today.

 

In this episode, we’re diving into how to lovingly, graciously (and strategically) manage dominators in your small group without crushing their spirit or losing your mind. I’m sharing practical ways to redirect conversation, invite quieter voices to the table, and set healthy expectations so your group doesn’t feel like a one-person show.

 

Whether you’ve got a chronic over-sharer or just someone who means well but monopolizes every discussion, this one’s for you. By the end of this episode, you’ll have a few solid tools in your back pocket to keep the group focused, fruitful, and fun for everyone—not just the talker.
