How many meetings have you sat through that could have been an email? Sam and Sophie open with that question, and it's the exact problem Terrence Metz set out to solve in Meetings That Get Results.
They walk through Metz's five common meeting pathologies, the four meeting types, and the step-by-step meeting design process that starts with defining a precise purpose and desired outcomes before you even send the invite. The episode covers facilitation techniques like rounds, brainwriting, and dot voting, plus strategies for handling difficult participants and making decisions with clarity.
If you've ever felt like your calendar is a black hole of wasted hours, this episode gives you a practical toolkit to reclaim your time. The takeaway: meetings can become a competitive advantage when you treat them with the same intentionality as any other business process.
