Translations:Creating Comfortable Conversations/9/en

Hosts and organisers frequently notice that comfort concentrates where attention is distributed. When one or two people hold the floor for long stretches, others tend to disengage quietly rather than interrupt. Redistribution usually happens through invitation rather than correction — turning toward someone who has been quiet, or picking up a thread they raised earlier.

| Safety=The safety dimension of conversation is primarily about autonomy. Every participant retains the right to decline a topic, redirect a question, or say less than is being invited. That right is often exercised subtly, and recognising a subtle decline is generally understood as a shared responsibility rather than the burden of the person declining.
