Over my decades as an organizational development consultant, I have learned to appreciate the importance of meeting effectiveness. Meetings are mission critical to almost every aspect of organizational life. Without effective meetings, an organization’s chances of success are greatly diminished. But despite the importance of meetings, most of them are irrelevant. This is unfortunate and completely avoidable.

I’ve learned so much from all my mentors, clients and colleagues over the years. I’m so grateful for all they’ve taught me. This blog and my upcoming book are my opportunity to share what I’ve learned and are my small contribution to growing the next generation of meeting facilitators.
