In the US we host approximately 55 million work-related meetings a week. 71% are considered unproductive by attendees, and 65% of employees agree that meetings prevent them from completing their own work. This is expensive, and soul-crushing, and I think we should knock it off.

Wanna kick "meeting malaise" to the curb on your campus? In today's episode I talk about the differences between traditional meetings and meaningful gatherings, and list four steps you can take to change how you lead meetings in order to infuse them with clarity, purpose, and joy. Not only can you become the person on campus who runs meetings people enjoy attending, but you'll benefit from stronger relationships with your colleagues as a result.

Spoiler: I'm still fan-girling Priya Parker's book The Art of Gathering and share a link to a free guide she wrote to help you make the most of your gatherings. And I'm totally inspired by the podcast episode where Priya helps Brene re-imagine one of her work meetings. Because you know if Brene needs the help, then we probably do too.
