Podcasts about effective meetings

Why good communication requires presence, not performance.Effective communication isn't about perfecting your performance. According to Dr. Kate Mason, it's about being powerfully present.Mason is a world champion debater, executive communication coach, and author of the book Powerfully Likable. In her work coaching senior executives to communicate more effectively, she emphasizes that it's not about creating a performative persona, it's about uncovering the authentic communicator you already are. “The coaching is just bringing the real parts of you to the fore,” she says, “uncovering rather than totally building from scratch. A lot of people come to me and say, I need to be more warm or more insert adjective here. And I say, I'm not gonna help you be more warm if that's not what's coming naturally to you. I am gonna help you work out the thing you're already doing, the thing you're already saying, how to make that comfortable for people around you.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Mason and host Matt Abrahams discuss strategies for more present communication. From avoiding "imposing syndrome” to reducing “the delta between your real self and that corporate persona,” Mason's insights explore how we can bring more of our true selves to the table.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Dr. Kate MasonKate's Book: Powerfully LikeableEp. 210 First Impression to Lasting Impact: Use Status Strategically Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:32) - Why Confidence Is the Wrong Goal (03:55) - Bridging Your Real and Work Selves (05:27) - What Is Imposing Syndrome?

Communication expert Chris Fenning shares how he wrote and launched Effective Meetings—from wide vs. exclusive publishing to pricing, reviews, audio, and beyond.

In this episode of The Tech Leader's Playbook, Avetis Antaplyan welcomes back bestselling author and communication expert Chris Fenning, whose latest book Effective Meetings offers leaders a refreshingly simple framework to cut meeting time by 30% or more. Chris unpacks the hidden cost of poorly-run meetings—billions in wasted dollars, lost morale, and decision fatigue—and explains why the real issue is a lack of training, not bad intentions. Together, Avetis and Chris break down the deceptively powerful TPO method (Topic, Purpose, Output), showing leaders how to transform recurring time drains into high-impact, action-oriented conversations.From the pitfalls of daily stand-ups to the myth of the “must-attend” calendar invite, Chris shares real-world stories, practical examples, and organizational case studies (like Shopify's Chaos Monkey) that show how eliminating unnecessary meetings isn't just possible—it's urgent. Whether you're a startup founder drowning in back-to-back Zooms or a Fortune 30 exec looking to sharpen your team's focus, this episode is packed with actionable advice you can apply today.TakeawaysTPO (Topic, Purpose, Output) is the foundational framework for running effective meetings.A meeting invite with no context is like a court summons—rude and unproductive.The #1 reason meetings fail? Lack of a clear purpose—not missing agendas.“No agenda, no attendance" is a viable policy to filter out low-value invites.Recurring meetings often lose relevance over time—reevaluate them regularly.Many meetings should be emails—ask if the meeting requires real-time, multi-person input.Decision-making meetings must include actual decision-makers or become planning sessions.Multitasking in meetings is usually a sign people shouldn't be there or are disengaged.The “Inverse Time Rule”: if a topic only affects a few people, it should take minimal time.Leaders should experiment: cut one-hour weeklies to bi-weeklies and watch productivity rise.Post-meeting follow-ups are faster and clearer when the output is clearly defined.Clarity is leadership—clear asks beat backstories and long-winded explanations.Chapters00:00 – Intro: The Meeting Problem01:30 – Why Most Meetings Fail03:15 – Topic, Purpose, Output (TPO) Framework06:00 – Writing Better Meeting Invites08:00 – The Power of Saying No to Bad Meetings10:00 – Recurring Meetings: Fix or Kill Them11:45 – When a Meeting Shouldn't Be a Meeting17:00 – How to Restructure Recurring Meetings21:00 – Real Case Study: Cutting Meetings at Scale25:00 – The Truth About Daily Stand-Ups27:00 – TPO in Action: Before, During, and After31:00 – AI's Role in Meeting Efficiency33:00 – Why Clarity is the Cornerstone of Leadership35:00 – Helping Others Get to the Point Faster42:00 – Goal, Problem, Solution: The Efficient Ask45:00 – Why Experts Often Over-Explain48:00 – What's Changed Since Chris's First Book49:30 – Favorite Book Recommendation: The Culture Map51:00 – Final Thoughts & Call to ActionChris Fenning's Social Media Link:https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-fenning/Chris Fenning's Website Link:https://chrisfenning.com/Resources and Links:https://www.hireclout.comhttps://www.podcast.hireclout.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/hirefasthireright

In this episode, Bob 'n Joyce share the hard-earned principles that helped their OD work actually stick. Too often, change efforts fail because the “rules of the road” are ignored. In past conversations, we may have made OD sound smooth and effortless — but the truth is, most of the tough work was anything but easy. From preparing the ground before diving in to remembering that “thick skin” is essential, these guidelines come from lessons learned the hard way: • Till the soil before leaping in • Never underestimate the value of a good warm-up • When in doubt, stop and check in with the group • Drop “right” and “wrong” from your vocabulary • Spend two-thirds of your time serving, which earns you one-third to push back • Never assume you know better • Grow some thick skin Whether you're leading your next leadership meeting or tackling a major change initiative, these rules will help smooth the road and improve your odds of success. So come on in, grab a snack, and let's hit the road together.

What if the missing link to scaling your business isn't strategy or hustle—but buy-in?In today's episode, I sat down with Dave Garrison—Harvard MBA, former CEO, leadership strategist, and author of The Buy-In Advantage. Together, we unpack the real reason so many businesses struggle to scale: a lack of authentic team engagement and aligned leadership. From culture-building to communication, this episode is a masterclass in how to create a team that moves fast, works well, and stays committed—because they believe in the mission as much as you do.Whether you're a team of one or one hundred, these insights will reframe how you lead.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why buy-in is more than just agreement—it's heart, gut, and brain alignmentThe hidden costs of poor team culture (and how it's secretly draining your business)Why most delegation fails—and how to fix itHow to ask better questions to unlock your team's geniusThe 7 ingredients of a sustainable, values-driven cultureHow to build trust, accountability, and performance—without micromanaging Key Takeaways:✔️Buy-in starts with you: Authentic leadership means modeling the culture you want to see.✔️Three is greater than seven: Too many priorities means no priorities. Focus is freedom.✔️Meetings should energize, not drain: Start with expectations, end with feedback, make space for participation.✔️Delegation requires clarity: Define the desired outcome, success criteria, and escalation agreements up front.✔️Culture already exists—you're either shaping it or letting it shape you.✔️Curiosity beats control: Great leaders ask questions.

Send us a textMeetings can be a productivity killer when poorly managed. Many professionals, like Jordan, find themselves stuck in unnecessary, unproductive discussions that drain time and energy. Common meeting mistakes include domination by one speaker, lack of real collaboration, going off-topic, constant postponements, micromanagement, and meetings that should've been emails.To fix this, leaders must run meetings with clear goals, structured agendas, and a focus on efficiency. Simple strategies—like keeping discussions on track, using an agenda as a guide, and capturing off-topic ideas separately—can make meetings more productive and engaging.Key Takeaways✔ Keep Meetings Collaborative – Avoid one-person monologues and ensure everyone's input matters.✔ Stick to the Agenda – Prevent discussions from derailing by consistently referencing meeting goals.✔ Make Decisions, Not Delays – Ensure meetings lead to actionable outcomes rather than endless postponements.✔ Respect People's Time – If it can be an email, don't make it a meeting.✔ Encourage Trust & Efficiency – Avoid micromanagement during check-ins to keep morale high.Take ActionBefore scheduling your next meeting, ask yourself:✅ Is this necessary?✅ What's the goal?✅ Could this be an email?

This week Dave goes over the 5 keys to effective meetings and answers some listener Q&A. 

Kathryn and Michael discuss strategies for having effective meetings. They recommend clearly defining the purpose and desired outcome before scheduling a meeting, and considering whether the goals could be achieved through other means like email or phone calls. Sending an agenda ahead of time helps participants prepare. Ideal meetings have a consistent day/time, start and end on time, follow the agenda framework, and last 20-30 minutes for tactical topics, an hour for strategic topics, or up to 2 hours for planning sessions. A designated facilitator manages time, redirects digressions, and incorporates stress relief or fun elements when appropriate for the context.

A recent survey conducted by Talker Research revealed that 38% of Americans have never felt more uninspired at work than they do now. That's a bit over one-third of the workforce! In light of this dissatisfaction, what can be said about management? The post-pandemic workforce has a new view on what gives their lives meaning and the benefits of hybrid work, making it more challenging than ever for managers to keep their teams engaged and productive. To share how management can face this hybrid workforce era is our guest Mamie Kanfer Stewart.

Summary In this episode, Andy interviews Rich Maltzman and Jim Stewart about their book Great Meetings Build Great Teams: A Guide for Project Leaders and Agilists. They discuss the common reasons why people dislike meetings, such as lack of purpose and poor facilitation. They introduce the concept of 'meeting goblins,' which are negative personalities that emerge during meetings, and provide strategies for dealing with them. The conversation also covers the challenges and best practices of virtual meetings, as well as the benefits and potential pitfalls of agile ceremonies like daily standups. The conversation focuses on the importance of effective meetings in building great teams. Rich and Jim share their experiences and strategies for running successful meetings, including setting ground rules, timekeeping, and using technology like AI for meeting summaries. They also discuss the impact of cultural differences on meetings and provide tips for managing diverse teams. The conversation concludes by emphasizing the link between great meetings and great teams, highlighting the role of meetings in fostering collaboration, building relationships, and achieving project goals. Sound Bites "Meetings are a fact of life, often complained about but also often tolerated." "Connection before context. Before you start right into the meeting, make sure you have a little bit of social interaction." "Goblins are personalities that come out during meetings, and it's up to the meeting facilitator to recognize and address them." "Great meetings aren't just about agendas and facilitation techniques; they're about showing that you care about the project and the team." "Rosie the Reticent is the quiet version of Nadia the Naysayer." "Decision latency is one of the biggest reasons for project failures, so it's crucial to have the right people at meetings." "Understanding national, regional, and organizational cultures is important for effective meetings."

If you're feeling frustrated and overwhelmed by unproductive meetings that seem to go nowhere, then you are not alone! Despite your efforts to lead engaging discussions, you may find yourself stuck in a cycle of inefficient decision-making and disengaged participants. Your attempts to create a structured meeting agenda may be falling flat, resulting in wasted time and missed opportunities for collaboration. Enter the four P's; People, Process, Product, and Purpose! Nothing boosts productivity like having the right people in the room, those who are crucial to the meeting's goal. The process, or the structure of the meeting, sets the tone for an efficient discourse. The product - the expected outcome of the meeting - ensures we're all working towards a common goal. And finally, the purpose. Why are we here? Answering this question adds clarity, making the meeting meaningful and necessary.
