110% ImprovAbility

How many times have you shown up to a meeting just because it is in your calendar? Have you been organising meetings where there is no agenda and peoplehave no real clue why they are there? Then you might want to consider calling them off, or circulating the lyrics to Kumbaya, and providing catering.....

This episode is about how to make meetings effective. Nathan talks through some of the challenges in getting effective outcomes and what you can do in order to make better use of your time and the time of those you need to get decisions from.

When you were listing the assumptions in your business plan, were you thinking global pandemic? It's unlikely!

Any plan that you put in place needs to constantly be revisited and adjusted as new realities come to light.

Do you still think the same way you did a year ago? Is there anything you've learned since then? Are you still trying to do everything; leaving most thing unfinished?

Might be worth a rethink....

During the 2020 lockdown suddenly school age children were working from home along with their parents. Interesting times indeed!

We often think that a lessons learned activity needs to be something formal, or with lots of experts in a field. Not so! You can learn a lot from talking with anyone directly involved in an event. 

Amelia, my 10yo daughter, asked to say a few words on the podcast...and here is that interview....

What is it about decisions that makes us afraid to make them?

In this episode we look at some of the reasons why people back away from making decisions, why we all seem to worry about everyone else, and what is it about the ducks and cheese sandwiches?

I guess you'll have to listen to find out!

As always, questions, comments and feedback are most welcome!

Are you tired of hearing "Just work smarter, not harder!"?

Or my favourite "You need to give 110%", as if you've just been sitting around being lazy or something!

This podcast is for you and the business you are in. We can help. Instead of throwing buzzwords and consulting phrases at you (well, sometimes maybe...) we want to talk with you about things we've learned over the years about effective ways of doing things.

In these podcasts we're going to try and make the topics of People, Projects, Process and Peformance fun and interesting. Hopefully there will be some things that we talk about that you can take away right away and use. 

It's not about giving 110%. It never was.

It's about always looking for ways to be more effective today than you were yesterday. Can you achieve 110% of what you did then?
