Have you ever slumped out of a staff meeting and grumbled,
“That was a waste of my day!”
If so, you are not alone. I’ve endured and (sadly) led many unproductive staff meetings. But over the years I’ve tried, tested, failed, experimented, learned and refined a way to
create a staff meeting that works (and doesn’t suck the life out of you or your team!).
During the blazing hot, hair-frizzing days of Staff Conference 2011, I filmed a
short (less than 8 minutes) how-to video
in which I share what I’ve learned about enjoying an effective staff meeting. If you go to the staff web to view this same video, you can
download a sample email and the staff meeting template
to which I refer.
But did you know that there are many other “how-to” videos and helpful seminars on the staff web? To find them, just go to the staff web then click “News & Events,” then “US Staff Conference,” then “Videos,” and finally “Seminars.” Or click here . (updated 1/2014)
Consider watching media and branding guru Phil Cooke’s video Creativity: The Art of Brainstorming with your team before your next problem solving session, or check out author and educator Heather Holleman’s How to Write with Flair before you write your next prayer letter, or even a status update.
