Frame your agenda items as questions. When attendees see questions, they begin considering answers, leading to faster and deeper engagement.

Meet individually with key people or small groups beforehand and bring the insights from these meetings into the larger session.

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.

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.

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.
