Do these common meeting complaints sound familiar?

Meetings are...

• Too long.
• Too many.
• Too chaotic.
• Always the same people talk.
• Nobody is listening (to me).
• ‘They’ just decide to do what ‘they’ want to do anyway.

Let's find and practice better ways of facilitating meetings that are more productive and outcome/action orientated.

In this participatory workshop, we will practice and experiment with solution-oriented meetings by focusing on these 5 points:

1. Goal: what do you want to achieve?
2. Position: what do you have responsibility for? What can you decide for yourself? What can’t you? What are your skills?
3. Working method: how are you going to achieve your goal?
4. Communication method: communicating with each other in a respectful, clear, and direct way.
5. Time: how much time do you have to achieve your goal – is there a deadline? How much time do you need?

What are the benefits?

1. Keep to the time by planning ahead.
2. Use messaging tools like Slack to discuss anything that doesn’t need to involve everyone.
3. Everyone gets a chance to propose and discuss agenda items.
4. Everyone involved in the meeting gets the chance to make decisions on items discussed.

You avoid:

1. Team members repeating topics or opinions. It gets things out in the open and done.
2. The same people talking and setting the meeting agenda.
3. Derailing meetings from its purpose.
4. Chaos with team members talking over each other.

Join me and other forward-thinking businesses on the journey to a better, more productive and profitable way of working together.
