Do you need to run a better meeting?
It's easy! You just need a Meeting Ref.
The Meeting Ref
There are three types of meetings: Push, Pull and Decision Making. If you don't know which one you're in, you will be in a complaint session. Complaint sessions end in hurt feelings, disengagement and wasted time, energy and money. We have all seen too many of these.
The Meeting Ref stops a complaint session from happening and brings clarity, organization and intention to your business. Then, tell your story to your clients and differentiate yourself in RFPs.
No team is too small for this. Or too big. The key is to recognize that the agenda is in charge, not any one person.

Get Intentional; Feed the Decision Making Meeting
- Push - This meeting is used to share information. Most of the time, a bulleted email will work. If this isn't a training event, it should probably be eliminated.
- Pull - This meeting is vital to learning what your team needs so they can be supported. Use this meeting to generate a Decision Making Meeting.
- Decision Making - This meeting is used to improve your business. If it is done (reasonably) well, it will deliver amazing results to your organization.

Slow is Smooth, Smooth is Fast
This meeting can greatly improve your organization, if you have the patience to let it work. It's important to understand the steps and the process of Forming, Storming, Norming.
- Discuss what has been tried in the past to "Drop the Ego"
- Agree on the goal
- Agree on "the main obstacle to the goal". This is the hardest and most important step!
- Then - FINALLY! - Discuss solutions
Video #3: The Art of Running A Good Meeting
Focus on Buy In, Not the Solution
- No plan lasts first contact. However, a team that has planned together will stay together.
- Hear from everyone and you will have a foundation of trust. This glues the team together.
- Be very careful about "command direction". That leads to hurt feelings and people disengaging.
