Meetings are a regular part of business life. They are also a wonderful opportunity to exchange valuable information & ideas, and move goals forward. When we are not intentional in our meeting preparation, we miss the chance to be fully present with our key stakeholders (employees, customers, partners, advisors, prospects).
I get many requests for coffee, lunch, and phone calls. All of these engagements take time and energy. Prior to committing to anyone, I ask them to provide me three objectives, and their expectations for our time together. Whether it’s 20 minutes or 2 hours, I want to be prepared, and I want to meet their expectations. I also want them to be fully prepared and focused.
Time is one of our most valuable resources. When you set aside time for a meeting, are you harnessing the power of that time? Regardless of the size of the group (2 – 20), how can you ensure success for every meeting?
