Ep. 298 – Quiet Works for offsite meetings

Can you remember going to an offsite meeting that was filled with high expectations of lively discussions and important breakthroughs, only to discover the agenda was a mess? The schedule was entirely filled with tons of talking and there were no moments set aside for thinking, preparation, or resolutions? In this week’s episode, I suggest semi-silent offsite meetings as a distinctive way to provide vibrant time to converge in conversation together, as well as time to diverge in quiet alone to process, prepare, rest, and reflect.
