The theme is effective meetings
Continuing the conversation about effective meetings, today we're sharing a concrete tip that you can use in your next meeting.
Hi, it's Danni here, and welcome to Friday Feedback.
Last week we were joined by Bastian Overgaard, who talks about the importance of silence. Watch the episode here.
It creates time for reflection and creates a sense of presence. But in practical terms, it also creates a little space and a healthy slowness.
In our context right here, it's room for feedback and optimization of our meetings, for example.
If you'd like to work more with silence and feedback, please get in touch with Bastian or me.
But for today, if you're ready to take the plunge and start getting feedback in your meetings, here's a simple recipe.
How to get feedback on your meetings:
- Articulate the framework
_200D↩Startby articulating the framework at the beginning of the meeting by saying something like: "We have these meetings every week, and we want to make sure you get the most out of them. So we're going to spend the last five minutes today giving you feedback on the meeting itself."
This way it won't come as a surprise to the participants.
- Give time and set the frame
At theend of the meeting, make sure you stop five minutes early. Don't take more than the meeting time - of course.
You can say: "Let's spend some time on feedback in the last few minutes."
Use a very simple approach that keeps the energy light and gives all participants a positive experience.
For example, I have often used the method of handing out post-it notes and asking people to write down:
- one thing they liked about the meeting and
- one thing they might adjust next time to have an even better meeting.
The advantage of post-it notes is that it automatically creates this silence.
The silence gives the participants space to consider how the meeting actually went. How do we think it was?
- Saythank you and collect feedback
Finally, collect the notes, thank them for their input and you're done.
- Tell"what now"
Thevery last step is what you do with this feedback. How you communicate it back to the participants, but we'll come back to that next week.
How do you think this would work for you? Do you need to make any adjustments first, and if so, what would they be?
And is there a particular meeting that you would like to see you become even more effective or get more out of?
Leave your comment on LinkedIn and join the debate and let's inspire each other.
Thanks for watching.
Have fun and see you soon!
