Meeting Tips

Write an agenda that flows like a great book

When creating an agenda, think of each item as a step in a narrative that will culminate in achieving the intent of the meeting.
Summarize decisions you made to shift mindsets to successful execution

Don’t end the meeting without stating the decisions that were made. This will change mindsets from discussing to executing.
Write the intent of the meeting in one sentence

Think of the intent of your meeting and write it down in one sentence.
Start with the end and how to get there: Intent, Agenda, Expectations

Start meetings with intent, agenda and what is expected of the attendees. Confirm alignment on those meeting pillars or make adjustments before continuing.

Random Tip

Plan 10-20% of the meeting time for wrapping up

When planning your agenda, allocate 10-20% of the meeting time for wrap-up. Use this time to summarize key decisions, assign action items, confirm follow-up meetings, and ensure everyone is clear on next steps.
