Current knowledge workers are spending an average of 15 or more hours per week in meetings, and for many of us, that number can be doubled. What’s with the meeting mania? With the amount of time we are spending in meetings, it’s critical that we make these meetings meaningful. Let’s face it, many of them are far from that. So how do we fix this? To bring clarity to this issue, our expert here to help us with this is Josh Murphy.


 


The three big questions we are going to work through are:


1. What defines an effective meeting and why does it matter?


2. Why do most meetings feel like a time waste, and what impact does that have on us?


3. What steps can we take to make our next meeting, effective, efficient, and enjoyable?
