Let's talk about running meetings before we dive in. I'm curious how you handle a room full of people with different agendas.

“What's the most frustrating thing that can happen when someone chairs a meeting badly?”
“Do you think reaching consensus is always the best goal, or is a strong decision sometimes better?”
“If you could ban one type of behaviour that derails discussions, what would it be?”
“Would you rather chair a tense meeting or quietly attend one?”
“Imagine a meeting hits a total impasse — how would you personally break it?”
Fresh topic questions — none repeat until you have seen them all

What Would Happen If...?

6 minutes
🗣️ “If that happened, I think...”
🌀 IMAGINE… #1
What would happen if every meeting in your company had no chairperson at all?
Speculate freely — there is no wrong answer.
