I’ve spent most of my professional life in meeting. As a professional speaker for the past 24 years I’ve made a living attending and speaking at meetings. Add in the more typical client meeting or staff meeting and it is safe to say I’m a meeting maven. I know from first hand experience what works and what doesn’t. In this six minute audio blog I share seven strategies that will make any meeting–big or small–more successful. Listen here
Mark,
This should be required listening for anyone hosting a meeting… really! Great ideas on how to make meetings more productive. So much time wasted usually! I’m going to start by showing up on time at my meetings from now on.
Great stuff!. Thanks for the insights Mark. I particularly like, “The call to action”
What a great reminder. #1 ask what I want them to think, feel or do by the outset of the meeting. #3 my team seems to always be underprepared for the meetings I host. This has to be poor leadership and unclear expectations on my part. #7 Call to action. We seem to be getting better at this, but it is such a good tie in to #1.
Thanks again Mark for the great refresher
