Participants are often afraid of being wrong or of sounding ignorant in front of others.
When asking questions of participants instruct them to hold up the colored strip of paper indicating their answer. It can also be used to evaluate the effectiveness of training. Print the following letters on a flipchart or chalkboard. After a few minutes ask participants to share their results. Awareness that the filters exist can improve communication.
