23 分钟How to run meetings that don’t suck: part two of our mini-series for running successful meetings.
Hi Matt here.
If you want to continue finding tools to a successful and happy life, I recommend listening to the happiness lab hosted by Yale professor Doctor Lori Santos.
Doctor Santos has studied the science of happiness and has found that many of us do the exact opposite of what will make our lives better.
Based on the psychology course she teaches at Yale, she will take you through the latest scientific research and share some surprising stories that will change the way you think about happiness.
This season, shes tackling topics that affect her own life like stress, perfectionism and boredom.
If you struggle with any of those, or if it sounds like you could learn more about increasing happiness in your life, then listen to the happiness lab right here in your podcast player.
Many of us dread meetings in our first of two episodes on making meetings meaningful, we learn best practices from academics on how to be better in meetings.
In our second episode, you'll learn even more techniques for bringing people together, figuring out the best way to maximize our time, and making your meetings more effective.
Some of the brightest spots in my day are when I receive an email that says a meeting has been canceled.
This is not a good thing.
Meetings are important and can be very helpful, yet many are ineffective in a waste of time.
By focusing on purpose and outcome, we can make meetings matter.
I'm Matt Abrahams and I teach strategic communication at Stanford Graduate School of Business.
Welcome to think fast, talk smart, the podcast.
Today, I am really looking forward to speaking with Elise Key.
Elise is a friend and a very creative thinker when it comes to making meetings more effective.
Elise is also known as the Meeting Maven and co founded lucid meetings and wrote where the action is, the meetings that make or break your organization.
I'm excited to have you help us crack the code on effective meetings.
Elyse, welcome.
Thank you for having me.
