participants never understand things quite the way you do.

  I think the big point here is that no one (No way, not never) will understand somethign the same way you. How much mutual understanding is necessary to gain consensus and to complete the project? While maintaining high standards...

Instead, work to clarify your language. Be precise. And be patient.
- Newman Lanier on 14 Mar 12
  
  I see the Plug-in ideas as an issue of language. You must let everyone know what language you are sending your signal. It's important to know what language others are hearing and / or listening for... I guess a BIG PROBLEM is to switch languages all the time, cause then no one knnows how to translate 'the words coming out of your mouth'. Advice, pick a language and stick with it.

We have to actively lower the stress and anxiety. And the only way to do that is to empathize with the others in the meeting.

  The first step - GI Joe says "Now you know and Knowing is half the battle". Self awareness and awareness of the emotions of other is key to managing the atmosphere of a room or meeting.

The best meetings are those where the egos fade away and the content of the meeting takes center stage
- Newman Lanier on 14 Mar 12
  
  here is my bit about ego and battles. I think it's the only thing that people know. It's the greatest story ever told - but it's seems like the ONLY story ever told. Why the conflict? Why the struggle? Perhaps it's hard-wired into the brain. Perhaps we're doomed repeat the hero worship / evil tyrannt cycle of a two party system.

Your designer acts like he’s got PTSD.
- Newman Lanier on 14 Mar 12
  
  http://www.webmd.com/anxiety-panic/guide/post-traumatic-stress-disorder - Web MD on PTSD. Can emotional abuse cause PTSD? Have designers ever been physically abused? I think there is definite emotional abuse is some organizations. Of course, I think my dehumanizing systems of work and school are abusive, IMHO.

In a meeting full of werewolves, this lack of confidence can be interpreted as weakness.
- Newman Lanier on 14 Mar 12
  
  This might makes right mentality and mis-trust of difference / diversity is right to the core of design meeting suckiness.

Werewolf Design Meeting into the Strategically Driven Design Meeting.
- Newman Lanier on 14 Mar 12
  
  An idea - let's make sure that everyone in the meeting gets the plug-in. This would set the language and goal of the meeting. Are we doing an "everyone shutup and get to the end" style of meeting? Are we doing the "Boss tirade"? "Battle Royale"? Let me know beforehand so I can get ready...
