Do you feel like you are in meetings all day long? We often joke about “death by meetings” but it’s a real problem that plagues organizations everywhere. How many organizations do you know have a good meting process that allows the most value to come out of a relatively short meeting time? People are the greatest asset and organize struggle to make their time in a valuable way. Across all industries and organizations feel a pressing need to make meetings better.

Where do we start? In this episode of HerCsuite™ podcast, Natalie Benamou is joined with HerCsuite™ Mentoring Chair and Executive Coach Laurie Wessels.

If you have been wanting to get time back in your day, make meetings more productive and make decisions this conversation is the perfect way to get started. Laurie shares three ways to make meetings better. It all starts with understanding our values and what matters most.

Laurie calls this concept, "What is Most Important"(WIMI) a practice she uses to help clients save time, reduce cost and become more productive teams.

Three Ways To Make Meetings More Effective

1. Make all meetings 45 - 50 minutes.
2. Always have an agenda and send it out in advance.
3. Know the purpose of the meeting: share information, make a decision, or get input.

Those are the simple and more practical things that organizations should do.
