Strengthen your time together
Have you experienced meetings where no one listens, the same voices dominate, and the purpose is unclear? Meetings without progress or engagement waste time and drain energy. Luckily, it’s easy to learn how to make them better.
As an external consultant and meeting specialist, I can help you get the most out of your virtual, hybrid or in-person meetings. A healthy and vibrant meeting culture is crucial for productivity, avoiding time wastage, and maintaining individual work satisfaction.
When our meetings have progress and are structured to involve and engage all participants, our results and impact improve.
How we will work together?
It likely took years to shape the meeting culture and habits you have today, so being realistic, significant changes won’t happen overnight.
When collaborating, my approach begins with observing your meetings and engaging with individuals within the organisation to grasp the challenges and their underlying causes better.
With a comprehensive understanding, I can then propose specific actions to transform your meetings—making them less draining and unproductive, and ensuring they progress meaningfully for their intended purpose and the participants.
Pre-meeting with the team leader to gain a better understanding of some challenges and establish clear expectations. Why does the team want to improve its meetings? What do they hope to achieve? Who owns the process? What is the desired outcome? How can we measure the impact?
Based on the discussions at the pre-meeting, I will design a process for my assessment that aligns with the expectations and desired outcomes. The process will always involve the observation of meetings. It might also include one-on-one interviews and focus groups, as well as surveys if they make sense for the assessment
I’ll deliver a written assessment that includes concrete and actionable suggestions on how you can improve your meetings and meeting culture.
The recommendations aim to provide tangible steps that can be implemented to create more effective and engaging sessions for your team.
Based on the suggested improvements, I’ll help implement them. This could involve anything from updating templates, introducing new meeting design approaches, and promoting effective communication. I can also assist in motivating your team towards behavioral changes and provide training for facilitators.
We’ll always meet for a follow-up dialogue to talk about the effect, impact, and learnings of the process.
