Pattern Recognition

Conflict Avoidance

Speaking Ratios

• Interruptions given and received
• Average speaking turn length
• Question vs. statement ratio

Filler Words

• Count "um", "uh", "like", "you know", "actually"
• Frequency per minute or speaking turn
• Situations where they increase

Active Listening

• Questions referencing others' points
• Paraphrasing or summarizing
• Building on contributions
• Clarifying questions

Leadership & Facilitation
