Episode 23 - The 5 things that go wrong with meetings and how to fix them


Listen Later

This week I'm talking about meetings at work, and specifically how to make them more effective and productive.

Apparently, 30% to 50% of the hours we spend in meetings aren't even productive, and a huge 73% of people admit to doing other work during meetings, hello inbox, and goodbye focus.

So here's what you can expect from the episode:

  • I share some surprising meeting stats
  • I talk about five things that could go wrong with meetings
  • I share how to fix them if you are the one responsible for running more effective meetings at work

As always I end the episode with a coaching question, and this week it's about considering the ripple effect of decisions that are made in meetings.

As ever I'd love to know how you get on with the tips in this episode - you can let me know at [email protected]
