Scenario: You just finished your research on why meetings are unproductive and are motivated to have meetings with more connection. But how?
A HMMM Option: You noticed in your team meetings not everyone gets a chance to talk or share. You want to start the next meeting with giving everyone a chance to share and to learn something new about each other.
In The Art of Gathering, Priya Parker suggests inviting those on the call to share what beverage they are drinking and tell the story behind their mug. To get more participation, you tell your team ahead of time that this will be the meeting kickoff activity and to come prepared with their favorite comfort beverage. In this activity your visual is the physical object of the mug.
This activity can easily be done in-person, hybrid, or virtually.
