In Our Conversation Today, We’re Exploring:
The role appreciative inquiry should play in our workplace conversations
Why Daniel says meeting agendas are stupid
What a silent meeting is and why we should be having them
Daniel’s advice for building deeper connections during meetings
Everything we’re doing on the podcast this season impacts the way that we talk and listen to one another at work. If we think about the days in which we worked on larger teams ourselves, or even the teams we’ve come to visit as coaches, a lot of those conversations take place in meetings.
Despite the fact that we know deep down that meetings can be useful, most of us dread them. Yet, our calendars are all jammed full with them. Meetings are such a big part of the conversations we have on a daily basis that we wanted to bring in an expert to help us tackle this specific topic.
Daniel Stillman designs conversations for a living and insists that you do, too. He's an executive coach for leaders who want to facilitate real change. He's also the host of The Conversation Factory podcast and author of Good Talk, a handbook for changemakers and innovators.
In our conversation with Daniel, we talk about how to make meetings a place of connection rather than just a place of information dumping.
