How Effective are your Meetings?
Have you experienced meetings where participants (or you yourself) …
- Showed lack of interest?
- Were constantly checking their mobile devices?
- Were distracted with or doing other work?
- Were not paying attention to the topics being discussed?
- Did not feel compelled to contribute?
- Felt that decisions were already made, so why bothered?
- Felt that the meeting was a waste of time?
These are common sentiments in many meetings that people participate in. If meetings are not effective, complacency and apathy can spread and might become a cultural norm in an organization, and THAT does not make a healthy organization.
Being clear about the purpose, scope and outcomes, and having a great design and processes for your meetings are key. As a Certified Professional Facilitator, I can help you overcome symptoms such as those above and re-generate energy and sparks in your meetings and workshops.
