Jess Britt Jess Britt is an experienced executive and nonprofit board chair. Today as a coach and consultant, she uses a facilitative leadership approach to empower leaders and teams to build collaborative, high-performing, data-driven workplace cultures. She's an alum of our Academy and for the past two years, has taken a leadership role inside our community as a Coaching for Leaders fellow, providing coaching and facilitation to our members. While some leaders love to hate meetings, a well-designed meeting can open huge opportunities to connect, engage, and build culture on a team. In this conversation, Jess and I zero in on simple tactics that will help you engage attendees and lead meetings that people actually enjoy. We explore how objectives, facilitation tactics, and adult learning principles can help and invite you to start with one. Key Points Identifying both shared and non-shared objectives helps you design meetings, informs how you show up, makes meetings less frustrating, and helps you pivot. Invite discussion and engagement at the start with a warm-up question. If possible, connect the question to an objective of the meeting. Check-out questions are a quick indicator of what worked and what didn't. Use emojis, voting, or a quick question to assess, and follow-up if something didn't land. Adults learn best by drawing on past experiences and taking action. Bring in role plays, think-pair-share, and gallery walks to help engage people. Simple debrief questions will up insights. Consider prompts like: “What came out of this?” “What did you hear?” and “I heard you discussing an idea. Tell us more.” Reach out to Jess at jess@jessbritt.com and tell her one thing you tried from this conversation and what happened. She'll respond by sharing her full guide of meeting facilitation ideas we weren't able to entirely cover in this episode.

Steven Rogelberg: Glad We Met Steven Rogelberg is an organizational psychologist, holding the title of Chancellor's Professor at UNC Charlotte for distinguished national, international and interdisciplinary contributions. He is an award-winning teacher and recipient of the Humboldt Award for his research on meetings. He is the author of Glad We Met: The Art and Science of 1:1 Meetings*. Many us appreciate the value of 1:1 meetings with employees. For a lot of managers, it's one of their biggest time commitments. And yet, nobody ever taught us how to do it. In this conversation, Steven and I discuss how to actually structure an effective 1:1. Key Points First and foremost, a 1:1 meeting is for the direct report. A set schedule for 1:1's with your team reduces bias by ensuring you connect with everyone, consistently. A loose framework is better than a lock-step agenda. Two approaches help: the manager proposing a core question or listing out topics that the direct report brings. Avoid status update meetings by articulating the purpose of 1:1's and dedicating agenda time (or future meetings) to bigger picture topics. Skip-level 1:1's are valuable for both employees and senior leaders. Avoid undermining another leader by approaching the meeting with the mindset to support the employee, rather than making decisions.

Business meetings are inevitable in any team. Unfortunately, they are often boring, unnecessarily long, and somewhat unproductive. Executive coach and author of Momentum Mamie Kanfer Stewart joins Penny Zenker to discuss how to make meetings highly effective and deeply interesting. She shares two core reasons why most meetings do not work and how to maximize its three major phases. Mamie also explores other channels of communication that are sometimes much more efficient and impactful than meeting your team face-to-face for hours on end.

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. She's the founder and CEO of Meeteor, a coaching and training company that focuses on creating healthy, high-performing teams with a special emphasis on productive meetings, as well as the author of “Momentum: Creating Effective, Engaging and Enjoyable Meetings.” Mamie also hosts the Modern Manager Podcast, where she delivers practical advice to help people tap into their managerial greatness. In this episode, Mamie shares how managers, despite being the unsung heroes of the workplace, fail to receive the support and skill development they need from their leadership so they can excel at their jobs. Mamie points out the essential skills managers need to thrive in today's ever-popular hybrid work environments — from effective feedback and authentic appreciation for creating high-performance teams to leveraging AI tools for productivity and collaboration. We also talk about meetings, why employees hate them, and how management can use them for relationship-building rather than wasting people's time.  If your employees and management could use a boost, then this episode is a must-listen!

This is a re-airing of episode 358. New episodes return on Monday, August 14th. Mamie Kanfer Stewart: The Modern Manager Mamie Kanfer Stewart is a managerial excellence expert, executive coach, author of Momentum: Creating Effective Engaging and Enjoyable Meetings*, and host of The Modern Manager podcast. She loves helping managers apply the best thinking on human behavior and flourishing in how they lead themselves and their teams. Key Points There are six reasons to have meetings: connect, align, decide, ideate/brainstorm, plan, and/or produce. Set an outcome for the meeting and structure the agenda accordingly. Approach other leaders for clarity when the purpose of the meeting is not apparent. Consider the impact of unnecessary participants in meetings and decide in advance who needs to be consulted, informed, and engaged. Maximize all attendees time by providing clear meeting invitations and concise instructions on pre-work or pre-reading to be completed.

Seth Godin: The Song of Significance Seth Godin is the author of 21 international bestsellers that have changed the way people think about work. His books have been translated into 38 languages. Seth writes one of the most popular marketing blogs in the world, and two of his TED talks are among the most popular of all time. He is the founder of the altMBA, the social media pioneer Squidoo, and Yoyodyne, one of the first internet companies. His blog is at seths.blog and his newest book is The Song of Significance: A New Manifesto for Teams*. Seth says that the foundation of all real skills is the confidence and permission to talk to each another. No place is that more apparent than in our meetings. On this episode, Seth returns to help us move towards meetings of significance. Key Points The song of significance is about work that matters, being part of something bigger than each one of us, and doing things we're proud of. Many organizations and leaders hold meetings, but they are often reports and lectures. Meetings of significance are conversations. Despite knowing the critical important of conversations, we tend to resist them in our roles. Our work is to begin those conversations. Start with agreement on what a meeting is how we do work that matters through it. The problem is rarely with Zoom. The problem is how you show up to facilitate the meeting. Create the culture you need to serve people well by setting the tone for it. You have more power than you think.

Mamie Kanfer Stewart and I are going to discuss how to stop wasting time and draining energy in unproductive meetings.   Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Tim Ferriss, “Focus on being productive instead of busy.”   As I observe my own productivity challenges, I realize that most of us spend so much time in meetings discussing what needs to get done versus actually doing what needs to get done.   This reminded me of the time my husband came home from work (before remote) one Friday night and shared with me that he calculated the amount of time he was in meetings for that week.  Wait for it!  The number of hours in meetings that week was 35!  35 hours, holy smokes!  Of course, I asked him, “who does the work and when does it actually get done?”  His answer was that he wasn't sure.  Shocking the amount of time, we feel the need to be in meetings for optics or to show we are an important player in the organization or the need to just feel needed.  Studies have shown that unproductive meetings are one of the greatest forms of waste in business today. Not only do they hamper productivity, but they also drain energy and diminish morale. Learn three simple strategies to make all your meetings effective and engaging.    YouTube: https://youtu.be/OyHty3-LLJ8   About Mamie Kanfer Stewart:  Mamie is the Founder of Meeteor, the author of Moment: Creating Effective, Engaging, and Enjoyable Meetings, and the Host of the Modern Manager podcast. Meeteor helps people thrive at work through effective collaboration, with a special emphasis on effective meetings   How to Get in Touch With Mamie Kanfer Stewart:  Website:  http://meeteor.com/ Stalk me online!

She is also a member of the Marshall Goldsmith 100 Coaches program and was selected for the 2020 Thinkers50 Radar List.

In this conversation, Stefanie and I discuss her book Inclusify: The Power of Uniqueness and Belonging to Build Innovative Teams*. We look at how optimism may get in the way of building an inclusive workforce. Plus, Stefanie invites leaders to make public commitments and begin using metrics to track performance. Key Points Our two most basic human desires are to be unique and to belong. Leaders often end up with either cohesive teams of people who all act similarly or a lot of diverse individuals who don’t gel. Optimists intend well, but don’t initiate real change unless something triggers them to do so. Optimists should be more public with their commitment to be champions for uniqueness and belonging. Organizations and leaders should set metrics for diversity, just as they do for almost everything else.

Today's guest in the Winning Teams podcast is a lady who hails from Brooklyn. She is Mamie Kanfer Stewart, the founder of Meeteor a company whose mission is to help people and organizations work smarter and have more effective meetings. Mamie is also a co-author of the book, Momentum: Creating Effective, Engaging and Enjoyable Meetings. Mamie is a mother of two kids and enjoys several interesting hobbies such as knitting, fine Trapeze, and rock climbing. After college, she worked in her family's business called GOJO and ran their philanthropic work. Through that, she learned about how teams work and how organizations function. When she left that position to do her own thing, she realized that not every organization has the same wonderful practices as GOJO. She launched Meeteor, initially as a tech firm. However, she recognized that instead of software development, the development of people is much more important, with a focus on effective meetings. Now, they train, coach and work with people to develop skills to help them have effective meetings and improved collaboration. Find out the full story here.  In this episode, Mamie shares with us:           Key blocks to effective meetings.         Changing the mindset of people to be “prepared in advance” for the meeting.         Shift your thinking from “Why are we meeting?” to “What will this meeting accomplish?”         The three different kinds of meeting participants.         Right culture around technology in meetings.         Breaking the cycle of “meeting after meeting after meeting…” inbred habit and routine.         Direct the meetings to a clear “Northstar” to avoid getting lost on tangents.         Don't be too internally focused – think through the perspective of your actual customers, stakeholders, etc.   Book Recommendation, Habits and Where to Get in Touch:   If you want to really redo your meeting culture, Mamie recommends Where the Action Is by Elise Keith. She believes that this book is very different and complementary to the book she wrote. It has helped her think differently about the meeting culture. Mamie's cornerstone daily ritual is going through her to-do list at her desk. On Monday mornings, she goes through the entire to-do list and figures out what needs to happen that week and tag them “This Week”. Each morning, she tags anything that needs to be done today with “Today” from her “This Week” list. Mamie writes down her to-do list on paper and puts it on her digital tool. She likes that it is always visible right next to her. It makes her happy to check things off either on the paper or her digital tool. You can find out more about Mamie's business at www.meeteor.com.

In 2010, Farmgirl Flowers’ Christina Stembel quit her gig at Stanford to launch a startup aimed at personalizing the cookie-cutter flower delivery industry. Her locally-sourced, artistically arranged, and totally gorgeous bouquets took off with a customer base craving naturally vibrant flowers. Now Christina is a successful founder who has grown her business from a bike-delivery service in San Francisco to a national destination for on-demand bouquets picked from American farms. Christina is one of two female founders we’ll be chatting with in our next Lean Startup webcast focusing on the specific strategies of next level CEOs. Our other guest on Aug. 31st is Mamie Kanfer Stewart, who is doing the brave work of killing off unproductive meetings through her company Meeteor, which helps organizations use meetings to drive productivity and collaboration rather than being massive time and soul-sucks. The two founders will talk with Lean Startup expert Aubrey Smith about the companies they’re building and the Lean Startup methods that helped them get their businesses off the ground.
