Meeting Tips
-
Summaries are effective reminders when you don’t send them immediately
Send the meeting summary a little while after the meeting has ended. That way the summary will be first reminder for attendees.
-
Time spent on preparation is returned double during execution
Make time to prepare each meeting. A 15 minute preparation for a 45 minute meeting is better than 0 minute preparation for a 60 minute meeting.
-
Use a survey at the end to receive valuable feedback
At the end of a meeting, ask your attendees about how it went. Use this feedback to improve your preparation and facilitation skills.
-
Better participation through multiple communication channels
Encourage participants to use voice, video, chat and whiteboard to engage in the meeting. More thoughts and ideas will become part of the conversation.
-
Create a template to make your meeting invites more useful
Create a template in your calendar app and use it every time you send a meeting invite. The template will remind you of what you need to include to prepare your attendees.
