Ep 136: Your Team Meeting Might Be a Colossal Waste of Time. Here's How to Tell.
Season 3 · Ep 136
About this episode
Be honest - how many meetings have you walked into, sat through, and walked back out of thinking "well, that was an hour I'm never getting back"?
If you're anything like most people I talk to, the answer is more than you'd like to admit.
Here's the thing though… I don't think meetings are the problem.
Done well, they create energy, clarity and momentum.
They remind people they're not out there operating solo, they're part of something bigger.
A good team meeting can genuinely shift the direction of a business. I'm a huge advocate for them.
The problem is that a lot of meetings out there have quietly stopped being good ones - and nobody's said a word about it.
They're still locked into the calendar, everyone still shows up, but somewhere along the way the actual point of them got lost.
In this episode, I'm digging into why that happens, and it's not as simple as "the manager's bad at running meetings."
After 15 years in HR, sitting on both sides of the meeting table, I can tell you it's rarely anyone's fault - and it's never just one person's job to fix. I'm sharing what to look out for and what to actually do differently, whether you're the one running the meeting or the one sitting in it, quietly checking the clock.
If your team's meetings have gone a bit stale, this one's for you - and if you want me to come shake up the meeting you've already got locked in… I’ve been doing that a lot lately (30 minute RESET, or a 60 minute POWER HOUR) - lets chat info@candiceharvey.com
Until next time, go have fun, and shake things up.
Keep listening
