Leading Beyond Any Title: Make Your Meetings Matter

16 February 2024

Presented by: Craig Hess and Jennie Gilbert

Let's face it - the phrase 'I wish I could go to more meetings today' is not a sentiment commonly heard in the workplace.

Meetings, despite their integral role, often draw attention for the wrong reasons. According to Otter.ai, remote work has led to a 70% increase in weekly meetings, with an additional 10% in meeting time, resulting in three extra meetings per week for employees. Atlassian adds that the average employee attends 62 meetings per month, with half of them considered a waste of time.

As the facilitator, you hold the key to transforming these statistics. Your meeting, your accountability. You shape how time is spent, how contributions are valued, and how focus is maintained.

Join Jennie & Craig as they unravel the intricacies of holding an effective meeting. Discover strategies, tips, and ideas to elevate your facilitation skills, ensuring meetings become a space where time flies, contributions are enthusiastic, and focus is unwavering.
