Have you ever been in a meeting or on a conference call and thought, "what a complete waste of time..."  Yeah, me too...

Somewhere, right now, a conference call is taking place that should not exist. Twenty-three people have stopped what they were doing. Three are paying attention. Seven are checking email. Five are wondering why they're there. Four are on mute walking their dog. Two are pretending their camera is broken. And one person is sharing a spreadsheet nobody can read.

Welcome to the modern meeting.

Join Dave for some PRODUCTIVE talk about WASTED TIME:

• How Did We Get Here?
• Ten Reasons Most Meetings Are a Waste of Time
• Five Reasons We Know They're Inefficient But Keep Having Them
• Five Personality Types That Love Meetings
• Better Alternatives
• Technology Is About To Change Everything

Time is the only resource that cannot be replenished and every unnecessary meeting takes a piece of someone's life they'll never get back.

Meet when you must. Decide quickly. Invite fewer people. Leave with action.

And remember:

• The goal of work is not to attend meetings.
• The goal of meetings is to make work better.
• If they aren't doing that, stop calling them meetings.

Call them what they are: A group project that nobody wanted.

Giddyup!!!
