#3 Meeting challenge

Participants lose interest - no way!

Here's how to keep everyone's interest.

3 tips: 

• Check and keep the discussion / ideas relevant
• Invite more participation to give more ownership and ‘buy-in’
• Revisit, with the team, the purpose, outcomes and WIIFT, What’s in it for them

Enjoy your meetings

Meeting challenge #2

Uneven participation

3 ideas to involve everyone:

a. Ask everyone in turn- round the room - for their input ( set a time limit eg. 1 minute each)

b. Ask specific individuals questions you know they can answer. Make it safe.

c. Say thank you and encourage contribution.

All work.

Try it and see.

Handling meeting challenges

Challenge #1

People who arrive late for meetings

3 ideas:

a. Twice in my life I have been locked our of meetings because I was late!
    Two separate organisations - once each - and I was never late again for them!

Could you, will you try this? It works.

b. Start on time and continue.

    No recapping. No attention. Proceed.

c. Pick and publicise an 'odd' time to start.

   Instead of 9am use 8.53am.

   The odd time intrigues and it works. Try it today!

Give it a whirl, see how it can work for you and hear the applause.

Enjoy
