In this episode, we dive into the biggest, most dreaded time-waster at every company: Meetings. Without basic meeting etiquette principles in place, I guarantee your employees are suffering and it's affecting engagement.

There are staggering costs (approx $37 billion!) associated with ineffective meetings and how they contribute to employee disengagement. I explore the common pitfalls of meetings that lack proper preparation, agendas, and clear outcomes, leaving participants feeling as though their valuable time has been wasted.

Discover how simple changes can turn meetings into meaningful and impactful interactions, allowing participants to accomplish more while feeling energized and valued!
