I would intervene by asking questions to raise awareness, such as:
– “How are we ensuring that all learning styles, including visual learners, are being considered?”
– “What can we do to make the discussion more inclusive for different learning preferences?”

The answer is it depends. I would closely observe the process. If all participants are actively participating in the discussion on the problem and also if during interventions the whole team is active in discussion reflections, I would not mention this. The session, problem discussed and reflections may not require additional references appealing to various styles or people knowing their preferences may take care of it by for example taking notes on their own.
However, if I would see that some participants may be struggling with understanding what people are saying both in problem solving or reflection part, I would address that by saying something like: I’ve noticed that there is a lot of being said right now, and it seems to me that some of you may have some challenges with following up with all that have been said. Am I right? And if they confirmed, I would have asked: What could help us to get the most learning from this session?

I’d ensure to set the stage in the beginning especially if this is a multi-session that there are many ways people interpret information (audibly, visually, etc). And to ensure there are inclusive of everyone’s style.
Assuming this conversation is completed, but still see an obvious shift where some visual leaners are not grasping the concepts, I’d intervene and mention ” I am observing that there are great conversations happening right now and actions or follow ups being discussed with no notes or visuals. How is it impacting the team’s alignment to a collective action or goal?”
if the team feels they are still comfortable with where they are going, no action needed, but will be able to loop back on the early comment of setting the stage so members can ask each other if they have an agreement on the problem and actions to keep going.

As an Action Learning coach, I find it important to not assume too much. Hence my intervention would start with “I’m noticing we are in dialogue mode for some time and I’m curious if this is the best way to get everyone fully engaged with the ideas being discussed?”
Just pointing that out has often the effect of triggering someone to start taking notes or drawing. It may also trigger other ideas like using sticky notes to capture everyone’s comments.
If nobody takes the initiative, a simple and direct question like “If we agree that doing this is important, how do you want to make it happen?” is usually enough.
