There’s never really one purpose to a meeting. Always two.
An internal and an external purpose.
To build relationships and to leave with a stronger, better, more understood list of goals or tasks.
Interestingly, the quality of the external purpose is strongly connected to the quality of the internal purpose.
Ice breakers are magic. So are Q&As. So is an environment everyone is seen, heard and given permission (maybe even an expectation) to speak up.
Stay Positive & More Meetings Isn’t Necessary, Better Is
