The Read the Room Workbook with Marsha Acker

Marsha Acker returns to NOVA Scribes to introduce us to her Read the Room Workbook! She'll share groundbreaking framework to decode and influence group dynamics: the 4-Player Model. In every conversation, participants take on one of four key roles—Mover, Follower, Opposer, and Bystander. When these roles are recognized and skillfully balanced, communication flows, ideas deepen, and collaboration thrives.

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn to:

• Recognize the hidden patterns that shape every conversation.
• Understand the 4 roles and how they drive or stall dialogue.
• Diagnose and shift unproductive communication patterns in real time.
• Expand your facilitation skills by learning how to "read the room" and channel group dynamics.

You'll walk away with powerful new tools for working with teams, coaching clients, and even personal relationships.

Whether you're a facilitator, coach, leader, or someone who simply wants to communicate more effectively, this workshop will open your eyes to the invisible architecture of conversations.

Come ready to practice, reflect, and transform how you listen, speak, facilitate, coach, and lead.
