How to Fix Your Broken Meetings

Whether we like it or not, meetings are essential in running an organisation. But when was the last time you attended a  meeting without feeling bored? Meetings are supposed to help us get work done more effectively. It’s an opportunity for us to raise issues and make important decisions. But despite their importance, very few of them are done well. How, then, can we transform our meetings from bad and boring to helpful and interesting?

Dr Carrie Goucher joins us in this episode to discuss the basics of a good meeting. She also explains how to disagree with other people in meetings while maintaining good relationships. Then, we lay down simple and practical actions making meetings shorter, more productive, and better.

If you want to know how to start running engaging and effective meetings, stay tuned to this episode.

  • Learn how to plan meetings beyond just hygiene factors.
  • Discover how to engage and encourage people to speak their minds during meetings.
  • Find out the best way to run an effective meeting.
