Meetings!!! Do you feel that we have too many meetings? Are they productive? Do they have a purpose? Are they the right length? Are we having them at the right time of day? Are we meeting to have meetings?
So many of us get bogged down with meetings and miss out on productivity. David gives us some very valuable insight and guidelines.
Are your meetings held on Monday mornings? Is this a good time to have a meeting? Could we try Tuesday and see if the participation is better?
Do meetings drag on because because the tradition is to have the meeting last for an hour or two hours? David gives the example of moving the meeting towards the end of the day so quitting time is the natural end of the meeting.
What about Powerpoint? Are our slides filled with text? If they are, we may be lacking confidence that we don't want to miss anything. If this is the case, we can trust ourselves a bit more by removing the text and using a few pictures as talking points.
If you can see the tops of heads in the audience, that is an indicator that the audience has lost interest.
David reminds us that no one dies while giving a speech. Once you give it, you can ask yourself was it worth being that worried?
David has quite a few stories and is well worth listening to and one can learn alot from this podcast.
