with a clear plan

Concise
Attainable in one meeting

on your plate?

you can chew….
And
NEVER
have so much on the
agenda.
You have to
schedule another
meeting

lost in a meeting,
or trapped?

not
need to be there
DON’T invite
them!

13. 3. Technology

minutes
because you
couldn’t
get the projector to
work?
Get there early
and iron out all the
kinks

15. 4. Timing

catch a plane on time

 Start on time
 Never penalize them
who show up, by making
them wait for latecomers

18. You started at 1 pm,
and now it’s 4:30 pm...
A word about
meetings that
melt...

19. 5. Conference calls

20. Ever had
everyone wait,
while someone
called the ones
who
were not on the
call?

21. Its not because they forgot
Its because they
don’t want to be on it!

calls
REALLY short

they’re really doing
on a conference
call?

25. Have everything ready?
Pens, paper, water,
snacks...
Whatever might be
needed,
have it available??

26. A note about
phones and laptops…

27. If people are doing the
work
at the meeting,
that they would be doing
if they were not at the
meeting….

28. then
a. there’s something wrong
with the meeting
or
b. they didn’t need to be there

29. 7. Beauty

30. If our meetings
looked like plants,
would they look like…
this? Or this?

31. Black belt tip:
Always have something
natural in the room
A plant —some real flowers
it makes a huge difference…

32. Ever come in and
the room is not clean?

33. When you’re done,
leave the plus for the
next people.
Clean up — they’ll
appreciate it.
