Continuing with the PLAN your Meetings:

N FOR NAVIGATE
Navigating happens before, during and after the meeting.

You’ve already set the expectations of your attendees.
Now you will navigate your people through the agenda and activities, keep conversation on topic, and drive home the objective.

  • During the meeting be clear with what you want them to do and how they should do it.
  • Check to make sure they know what is expected.
  • Leave time to answer any questions.
  • When the meeting ends, continue to navigate them. Follow up with written expectations and deadlines.
  • Send reminders and check in.

A helpful tool for this is to use visuals! You can use a visual to guide your conversation throughout the meeting, capture everyone’s contributions, then distribute the visual after.
