meeting culture

The idea that every problem, every issue, every roadblock in your organization can and should be solved by a meeting — that’s meeting culture. But often, meetings feel like a huge waste of time, and they can take up so much of your day that you can't actually get your work done. There has to be another way!  Christina Janzer, SVP of Research & Analytics at Slack, joins host Anne Helen Petersen to answer listeners' questions about how to make meetings better.
