RUN A GOOD MEETING, THEN Build on It
The ability to run a good meeting is the starting point for a Culture of Caring. Meetings need to be intentional. Period. If they aren't, then a lack of respect is being shown.
A Meeting Ref will keep your meetings quick, efficient and intentional. That will lay the foundation to improve all of your company's people, processes and technology.
Finally, you will want to tell people your story. This will help with hiring and RFP responses. The Meeting Ref is going to help you win more business.
To help make this happen in your company, we created Boost Your Business. It includes:
1) Training of a Meeting Ref
2) A Personalized "Onboarding to Culture" Video
3) A Spotlight on Company Culture Interview Video
In just two weeks, you will find that your company is operating at a much higher level, complaints will be down and you will have expanded on your current culture of continous improvement.
The Meeting Ref Modules give the Spark
#1 Meeting Basics
Get Intentional; Feed the Decision Making Meeting
- Push - This meeting is used to share information. Most of the time, a bulleted email will work. If this isn't a training event, it should probably be eliminated.
- Pull - This meeting is vital to learning what your team needs so they can be supported. Use this meeting to generate a Decision Making Meeting.
- Decision Making - This meeting is used to improve your business. If it is done (reasonably) well, it will deliver amazing results to your organization.

Slow is Smooth, Smooth is Fast
This meeting can greatly improve your organization, if you have the patience to let it work. It's important to understand the steps and the process of Forming, Storming, Norming.
- Discuss what has been tried in the past to "Drop the Ego"
- Agree on the goal
- Agree on "the main obstacle to the goal". This is the hardest and most important step!
- Then - FINALLY! - Discuss solutions
Video #3: The Art of Running A Good Meeting
Focus on Buy In, Not the Solution
- No plan lasts first contact. However, a team that has planned together will stay together.
- Hear from everyone and you will have a foundation of trust. This glues the team together.
- Be very careful about "command direction". That leads to hurt feelings and people disengaging.
