Episode 4: How (and Whether!) to Run a Meeting
About this episode
Whether you're the organizer or an attendee, there are ways to make meetings better for everyone. Sarah and Amy explore the concept of 'meeting hygiene,' including the need for clear agendas, respectful scheduling, and the roles & responsibilities of organizers and attendees. The conversation also covers strategies for running meetings effectively, including pre-wiring, managing discussions (and difficult people), keeping participants engaged, and ensuring follow-up actions are clear.
