Stop wasting time in painful meetings and make them more productive Meetings can be useful when you prepare for the real purpose Episode 167 (Mark is based in Toronto, Canada) In this conversation with Mark Ellwood we explore: How to protect ourselves from painful meetings Clarifying and communicating the purpose of your meeting How might we train for effective meetings When the meeting is finished, how will you know if it was a success Why everyone is responsible for the meeting out come How to facilitate a planning meeting How to leverage meeting icebreakers How to harvest the diverse ideas while focusing the discussion Managing conflicting viewpoints without trying to convince Key questions to advance the conversation Managing facts versus feelings About our guest Mark Ellwood: Mark helps organizations develop their strategic plan.

Learn more about Mark and his services at https://getmoredone.com/ https://terrificteams.com/ ----- Excerpts from this conversation with Mark Ellwood: Mark, we're going to take a look at what some people hate about business, and how to make it better. And that thing we hate is called meetings. Where do you come across a meeting? Should we have more meetings, Less Meeting shorter meetings, longer meetings? What the heck can we do at these meetings, We should have effective meetings, you know, you mentioned my sports. In the beginning, I was thinking about my son, who trains incredibly hard to, you know, rowing regatta and rowing races, like five minutes or so. And he really trains hard for that. How much training we do, or do we do for a meeting that lasts an hour or an hour and a half? Not much at all. And so the advantage of a meeting is you're bringing all these different people together, we've got different backgrounds and training and input and so on. And that's also the disadvantage, they all bring their own agendas or their own points of view. And that's why people have trouble with meetings, because all these different personalities. Whereas if you can get them to work, well, then you're on your way. And we talk about your intended message. And part of that is communicating well during the meeting, so that you're not going astray all over the place, I do have a definition of a meeting the purpose of a meeting, and people go, you know, what are we doing the weekly meeting updates this and that, and so on. I have studied this for many years, my definition of the purpose is quite simple. It's to convene stakeholders to make decisions that lead to action, to convene stakeholders who make decisions that lead to action, When you have that focus on decisions and action that gives a focus to your meeting. Now, there's a couple of exceptions, safety meetings and daily hubs and so forth. But for the most part, that will make our meetings more efficient. ----- ----more---- Your host is George Torok George is a specialist in executive communication skills.

With an overload of information flooding our social media feeds, we return to an old standard—the guidebook—to see how it's faring in the 21st century. This week, we chatted (and argued a little) with Andy Steves, son of famed guidebook writer Rick Steves and a millennial travel guide writer in his own right; and contributor Mark Ellwood, who got his start writing a guidebook for New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and upstate New York. Now it's your turn to answer our question: do you even use a guidebook anymore?
