Hybrid Meetings ≠ Inclusive Meetings. I’ve lived it - and here’s 5 practical tips to ensure everyone has a voice, regardless of location. I spent more than 10,000 hours in hybrid meetings while as a remote leader for The Clorox Company. I was often the ???????? remote attendee - while the rest of the group sat together in a conference room at HQ. Here’s what I learned the hard way: ???????????????? ??????’?? ???????? ???????? ???????? ??????????????, ???????? ?????????? ???????? ??????????????... ...by showing who gets heard, who feels seen, and who gets left out. If you're leading a distributed or hybrid team, how you structure your meetings sends a loud message about what (and who) matters. ?? ???????? ?????? ?????????????????? ???????? ?????????????????? ?????? ?????????????????? ???????????? ????????????????: 1?? ?????????????????? ?? ???????????? ?????????????????????? – who will actively combat distance bias and invite input from all meeting members 2?? ???????????? ?? ???????????????? – to monitor the chat and the raised hands, to launch polls and to free up the facilitator to focus on the flow 3?? ???????????????? ?????? ???? - so that there is equal access to the chat, polls, and reactions 4?? ?????????? ???????????? – pair remote team members with in-room allies to help make space in the conversation and ensure they can see and hear everything 5?? ???????? ?? ???????????? ???????? – be ready with a Plan B for audio, video, or connectivity issues in the room ???????? ???? ???????? ???????? ???????? ??????????????? ?????? ?? ??????????????-?????????? ??????????????.

I’ve run over 200 all-hands meetings in my career. It took me years to fully appreciate their value but I ultimately found them to be one of the most effective ways to drive alignment, motivate teams, and improve execution. After plenty of trial and error, here are the elements of a great all-hands: Cadence is crucial. Your all-hands meeting should be recurring and follow a consistent schedule. Avoid cancellations or rescheduling whenever possible. I’ve tested different frequencies—weekly, biweekly, and quarterly—but found that a monthly cadence works best. It’s sustainable, provides enough time for valuable updates, and doesn’t become a burden. In terms of duration, I’ve experimented with 30, 45, and 90 minutes, and I’ve found that one hour strikes the perfect balance. You can cover enough while at the same time keeping people engaged. A structured format keeps things efficient. Using the same agenda every time makes preparation easier, eliminates confusion, and ensures consistency. An agenda I’ve seen work well includes: Welcome (work anniversaries, birthdays, new hires) - 2 min Company Vision & Mission - 1 min State of the Business (highlights/headwinds) - 5 min Key Metrics (scoreboard of KPIs that tell the health of the business) - 5 min Celebrating Wins (customers/products/features/adoption/fundraise)? - 7 min One or two Strategic Topics - 24 min Open Roles - 1 min Q&A - 10 min Top Performer Recognition - 5 min Rotate presenters to keep engagement high. Hearing the same voice—especially the CEO’s—over and over can cause messages to lose impact. Involving different speakers not only keeps things fresh but also gives team members a platform to showcase their work and leaders a chance to give shoutouts to their teams. Another game-changer: inviting external speakers who can share insights about your industry, growth stage, or the real-world impact of your product or service. Communicate for clarity, not complexity. Early on, I made the mistake of assuming everyone knew as much as I did about the business. I’d use acronyms without explaining them and skip over background information, forgetting that not everyone was at the company when those topics were last discussed. A good rule of thumb: Always spell out acronyms the first time, provide quick context for key topics, and repeat the ‘why’ behind decisions—even if it seems obvious. “Produce” the meeting for maximum impact. Great all-hands meetings aren’t just informative—they’re energizing. Presenters should be well-prepared, and handoffs between speakers should be seamless. Small touches make a big difference: play high-energy music as people join, create excitement around wins, and make top-performer shoutouts meaningful. The energy you bring to the meeting doesn’t just impact the next hour, it can set the tone for days or weeks to come. All-hands meetings can be one of the most powerful tools in your CEO toolbox—but only if you invest the time, energy, and focus to make them great.

“Let’s have a meeting to talk about meetings,” said no one ever. But maybe we should. A Microsoft global survey found the #1 workplace distraction is inefficient meetings. The #2? Too many of them. Sound familiar? Last week, I led a meeting effectiveness workshop for a team of 15 at the request of their practice leader—who happens to be my husband. His team’s meeting struggles? Rambling discussions, uneven engagement, unclear outcomes, and lack of follow-through. He thought a meeting AI tool might fix it. Nope. AI can help document meetings, but it can’t make people prepare better, participate more, or drive decisions. The fix? It’s not “Have an agenda”. It’s setting the right meeting norms. My husband was hesitant to put me in the late morning slot–worried the team would tune out before lunch. I told him, “Put me in, coach. I’ll show you engagement.” And I did. For 90 minutes, we tackled meeting norms head-on through interactive discussions and small group exercises. Here are 5 norms they worked through to transform their meetings: 1?? ?????? ?????????? ???????????????? ?????? ???????????? ?? ??????????????. An agenda is a list of topics. A purpose answers: What critical decision needs to be made? What problem are we solving? Why does this require a discussion? If you can’t summarize the purpose in one sentence with an action verb, you don’t need a meeting. 2?? ???? ?????????????????????? ?????????? ??????’?? ???? ?????? ????????. Some discussions only need two people; others require a small group or the full team. Match the participants and group size to the topic and purpose.? 3?? ???????????? ???????? ?????? ?????? ???? ??????????????. Before the meeting, define the problem or goal. Identify potential solutions. Recommend one. Outline your criteria for selecting the solution(s). Back it up with data or other relevant information. Preparation = productivity. 4?? ???????????? ?? ?????????????????????? ???? ???????????? ?????? ????????????????????. A good facilitator keeps conversations on track, reins in tangents, and ensures all voices –not just the loudest–are heard. Facilitation matters more than the agenda. 5?? ?????? ???????? ?????????? ????????????????. Summarize decisions. Assign action items. Set deadlines. Follow-up to ensure accountability and progress. A meeting without follow-through is just wasted time. The outcome of the workshop? 100% engagement. (One person even admitted she normally tunes out in these things but stayed engaged the entire time!) More importantly, the team aligned on meeting norms and left with actionable steps to improve. Want better meetings? Set better norms. Focus on facilitation. What’s one meeting tip that’s worked well for your team?

Leaders: create an environment where your team doesn't second guess themselves. Failure is okay. Difficult conversations need to happen. Worthwhile work is hard. But here's the thing: your team will fail to execute according to your standards when you've built a system around fear (whether intentional or not). And even worse, the standards they can achieve. Here's how I try (and fail at times) to build a culture of trust on the marketing team: Encourage Transparency: Make it safe for your team to share challenges, ask for help, and voice concerns. Have monthly or quarterly meetings with every team member, make it a safe space to share their concerns. Show Your Vulnerability: Lead by example, show your own vulnerability. Admit your mistakes, and model how to learn and move forward. Get Agreements: Fear often arises from uncertainty. Be clear about goals, priorities, and what success looks like. Share Before Ready: Encourage your team (and yourself) to share work-in-progress ideas, drafts, and projects. Waiting for "perfect" never works. Give Feedback With Empathy: Feedback should be constructive, not destructive. Focus on the behavior, not the person. Fear can stifle even the most hardworking and intelligent. It also blunts creativity, slows your team, and severely limits trust. It's your job to remove the barrier.

"Stop calling meetings so you can simply organize your own thoughts with witnesses." - Amber Naslund ?? Facilitators need to organize and create purposeful meetings, but it's equally important that you speak up! I know this can be intimidating for many of you. (it was for me as well) Here are 10 ways to speak up in your next meeting: (progressive steps to build your confidence) 1. Know the agenda: "I've reviewed the meeting topics..." ??→ Familiarize yourself with the meeting structure beforehand. 2. Prepare one talking point: "I have a thought on the second item..." ??→ Jot down a single idea you feel comfortable sharing. 3. Acknowledge others: "Thank you, [Name], for bringing that up." ??→ Start by simply showing you're engaged and listening. 4. Ask a clarifying question: "Could you elaborate on...?" ??→ Seek more information on a point someone else made. 5. Piggyback on ideas: "To add to [Name]'s point..." ??→ Build upon a colleague's contribution with a short comment. 6. Offer a brief experience: "I encountered something similar when..." ??→ Share a quick, relevant personal anecdote. 7. Summarize a discussion: "If I understand correctly, we're saying..." ??→ Recap a part of the conversation to ensure understanding. 8. Present prepared research: "I found some data on this topic..." ??→ Share a fact or statistic you've looked up in advance. 9. Suggest a small action item: "I could look into that for next time." ??→ Volunteer for a manageable task related to the discussion. 10. Express a thoughtful opinion: "From my perspective..." ??→ Share your own viewpoint on a topic, backing it with reasoning. TL;DR (try to speak up in the first 30 mins) 1. First meeting: Learn the agenda beforehand.? ??→ Simply knowing what to expect can boost your comfort level. 2. Next meeting: Expand on someone else's thought. ??→ Try the "piggyback" technique: "Building on [Name]'s point..." 3. Following meeting: Introduce your own idea. ??→ Start small: "I had a thought about..." 4. Keep growing: Each meeting, challenge yourself to contribute a bit more. ??→ Progress from asking questions to sharing insights to leading discussions. For those who need to speak up, remember that confidence grows with practice. For those who facilitate meetings, I'll leave you with this: #aLITTLEadvice

Anyone else suffer from meeting overload? It’s a big deal. Simply put too many meetings means less time available for actual work, plus constantly attending meetings can be mentally draining, and often they simply are not required to accomplish the agenda items. At the same time sometimes it’s unavoidable. No matter where you are in your career, here are a few ways that I tackle this topic so that I can be my best and hold myself accountable to how my time is spent. I take 15 minutes every Friday to look at the week ahead and what is on my calendar. I follow these tips to ensure what is on the calendar should be and that I’m prepared. It ensures that I have a relevant and focused communications approach, and enables me to focus on optimizing productivity, outcomes and impact. 1. Review the meeting agenda. If there’s no agenda I send an email asking for one so you know exactly what you need to prepare for, and can ensure your time is correctly prioritized. You may discover you’re actually not the correct person to even attend. If it’s your meeting, set an agenda because accountability goes both ways. 2. Define desired outcomes. What do you want/need from the meeting to enable you to move forward? Be clear about it with participants so you can work collaboratively towards the goal in the time allotted. 3. Confirm you need the meeting. Meetings should be used for difficult or complex discussions, relationship building, and other topics that can get lost in text-based exchanges. A lot of times though we schedule meetings that we don’t actually require a meeting to accomplish the task at hand. Give ourselves and others back time and get the work done without that meeting. 4. Shorten the meeting duration. Can you cut 15 minutes off your meeting? How about 5? I cut 15 minutes off some of my recurring meetings a month ago. That’s 3 hours back in a week I now have to redirect to high impact work. While you’re at it, do you even need all those recurring meetings? It’s never too early for a calendar spring cleaning. 5. Use meetings for discussion topics, not FYIs. I save a lot of time here. We don’t need to speak to go through FYIs (!) 6. Send a pre-read. The best meetings are when we all prepare for a meaningful conversation. If the topic is a meaty one, send a pre-read so participants arrive with a common foundation on the topic and you can all jump straight into the discussion and objectives at hand. 7. Decline a meeting. There’s nothing wrong with declining. Perhaps you’re not the right person to attend, or there is already another team member participating, or you don’t have bandwidth to prepare. Whatever the reason, saying no is ok. What actions do you take to ensure the meetings on your calendar are where you should spend your time? It’s a big topic that we can all benefit from, please share your tips in the comments ?? #careertips #productivity #futureofwork

Running Effective Meetings: 7 Must-Follow Rules After one too many unfocused meetings, I instituted strict rules within my direct reports to increase alignment and productivity. Whether leading internal or external meetings, here are 7 tactics for sharply focused sessions: 1. Most meetings are 30 minutes max. If it's a working meeting it can be 45-60 minutes. 2. Share agenda and pre-read or memo via Doc at least 8 hours prior. Information should be shared in advance. We should not be spending the whole meeting with someone reading a data update. Most meetings should be dialogues and conversations 3. Start the meeting by establishing the objective and desired decisions. I almost always start a group meeting with “objective of this meeting is..." or "By the end of this meeting we will decide…” 4. Start and end on time out of respect for schedules. 5. Redirect tangents politely. Tangents have no place in a 30-minute meeting. If new issues are brought up then they require more data/ and a separate meeting. 6. Leave the last 3 minutes for action item review. 7. Share meeting notes with clear deadlines within 8 hours. I am a proponent for sending immediately after or even during the meeting in Slack. It's remarkable the impact these simple consistency practices have on morale and efficiency. Try them yourself and watch your team's productivity leap. Let me know what rules or frameworks you rely on for optimizing meeting efficiency at your organization! What resonates most with keeping stakeholders aligned and progress flowing?

To build your management toolkit, practice Microvalidations. Why? Culture--or the organizational context of work--can greatly enhance or detract from team effectiveness. When I speak to organizational leaders, they indeed value having their team members feel included. Yet, as the latest LeanIn McKinsey Women in the Workplace report and years of social science studies show, our cultures do not always deliver on the intention of inclusion. Instead, interruptions, stereotypical comments, and stolen or overlooked ideas can be quite commonplace in team dynamics. The frequency and negative impact have been shown to be much higher for people from marginalized groups, including women, people of color people from the LGBTQ+ community and people with disabilities. So, what can you do? I love these ideas from Prof. Laura Morgan Roberts, or positive actions managers can take to deliver on their intention of inclusion. Focus on what Roberts calls microvalidations. These are affirming actions that can help managers and teams create cultures where people feel valued and can effectively contribute to the team. These straight-forward actions, when done regularly, can become the good habits to foster inclusion. Here are Prof. Roberts’ microvalidations: ? Acknowledge presence. Women or people of color are often assumed to be of lower status when they walk into a room and are greeted with silence, not given full attention, or are interrupted, Roberts says. Give a nod or a warm smile and make eye contact. When someone is speaking, put away your phone and close your laptop. ? Validate identity. Refer to people as they want to be referred to. Don’t use nicknames or anglicize names that are harder for you to pronounce, Roberts said. ? Voice your appreciation. Share in real time when colleagues make important contributions, even if they are disagreeing with you. Highlight achievements to other members of your organization, whether the individual is in the room or not, Roberts said. ? Support leadership and growth. The leadership of managers and executives who are not white and not men is often challenged so women and people of color don’t get the same opportunities they need to grow and aren’t given the respect they deserve, Roberts said. Express confidence in their leadership, acknowledge the challenges they face, make introductions to key contacts and provide encouragement and coaching. Together, action by action, we can indeed build team contexts in which people can do their best work and be valued for their contributions. #diversityandinclusion #womenleaders

?? How to Handle a Difficult Conversation as a Leader ?? Difficult conversations are one of the toughest parts of leadership but also one of the most important. The key isn’t just delivering bad news and walking away, but staying engaged, even when it’s uncomfortable. I recently wrote about this in my Harvard Business Review article, “How to Talk to an Employee Who Isn’t Meeting Expectations,” where I shared strategies to turn these moments into opportunities for growth. As an executive coach and advisor, I work with leaders navigating these conversations every day. Here are four things to keep in mind to make the discussion more productive: ?? Set the stage for collaboration Approach it as a partnership. Start with alignment: “My goal is to provide clear feedback and ensure we are collectively working toward your development.” ?? Encourage self-reflection Invite them to assess their own performance. “Looking back, what’s working well? What would you improve?” This helps shift the mindset from blame to growth. ?? Deliver feedback with clarity Be specific and avoid ambiguity. Focus on observed behaviors, not assumptions. Instead of “You’re not engaged,” say: “I’ve noticed you’re quieter in meetings, and team members think you are disconnected.” ?? Reset expectations and look ahead Frame the conversation around the future. Instead of focusing on what went wrong, ask: “How would you handle this situation differently next time?” Difficult conversations don’t have to feel like confrontations. When approached with preparation, empathy, and a focus on growth, they can be transformative strengthening both performance and trust.
