A Quick Guide to Effective Meetings by Dr. Stephen Earnest of BetterMeetings4U.com
My name is Steve Earnest and am one of the principals of Earnest & Treff Consulting. I have taught at Indiana University since 1980, have a Master’s Degree in Counseling and a PhD. in Adult Education. Earnest & Treff Consulting was started with the underlying mission to help our clients conduct more effective and productive meetings. If a meeting is planned and executed with an understanding of what works, it will increase the teams efficiency in establishing and accomplishing goals, as well as the most basic desire: communicating.
We were asked by BoldThink to identify ten simple ways that clients can improve their meetings. Of course, to realize sustained and meaningful adoption of our principals, you will need our consulting services. However, to start building the foundation for our principals, you can see the suggestions below. For more detailed guidance, you can buy our book Plan, Practice, Participate for Better Teamwork or attend one of our two-day workshops. Information is available on our website.
Here are ten ways that you can improve your meetings today:
CAVEAT to these meeting improvements. Use one of these ways to improve your meetings at a time. Otherwise, you may become overwhelmed by too many changes at once.
Look around you at the next meeting. Estimate the salaries of those in attendance. If you are not getting your money’s worth, we can help at bettermeetings4u.com or Earnest & Treff Consulting, 317-442-7226.
Please refer back to BoldThink’s website for my additional guest blog posts. I will discuss the connection between adult development and leadership effectiveness soon.
