How often have you participated in a meeting with far too many people in it, an agenda as long as your arm and no break in sight? In these environments, the chances of having your best ideas are slim.  But what if meetings didn’t always have to be this way? In this conversation, I chat with management consultant and author, Chris Ertel. Chris talks about his book, “Moments of Impact” and provides a framework and insights into how to create more thoughtful meeting experiences that enable breakthrough and accelerate change.
