When planning meetings early in a larger process, think about agenda
content that manages assumptions. For example, if working with personas,
Indi Young has a great approach.
Drawings with simple diagrams with short phrases eliminate ambiguity and
surface critical decisions. Learn from the master, David Sibbett.
Afraid to draw in meetings? Learn the visual alphabet, and more, from Sunni Brown.
Storytelling is a powerful way to structure a presentation. Learn more
about good story structure from Donna Lichaw in her new book.
Is a Lean Coffee an amazing new drink? Nope. But it’s a great way to run a
meeting without preparing an agenda in advance.
Ever wonder why people are afraid of ideas that feel “too creative” in
meetings, even though they want you to come up with “game changers?” It’s
probably the creativity bias.
Meetings at the end of a process can be really tough and filled with blame.
That’s why ETSY makes them “blameless.”
