Post 4: INTENTIONAL PLANNING AND MEETING OBJECTIVES

Scenario: Last week you cancelled meetings on your calendar because you were sick. Now you’re wondering if all the meetings YOU host are anchored in purpose and if that purpose is clear for the attendees.

Default Option: You start creating agendas for all your meetings so people can determine if they need to/ want to be present.

A HMMM Option: You take it a step further and design your meeting around a purpose and determine who should be there to elevate the conversation around that purpose. You do this by asking yourself what do you want your attendees to do after the meeting? What do you want them to know? How do you want them to feel? How will you engage them? This is something we discuss in Session 2 of my Using Visuals for Work package.
