Have an Agenda
Set your intentions prior to the meeting and have an agenda for everyone in attendance. Recognize your strengths as a leader and your participants’ strengths as engaged members of the meeting.
Building high quality connections with coworkers improves well-being, morale, and productivity within the workplace. Begin with a short activity to show that you value those in attendance. This may include sharing high and low points (personally or professionally), sharing a piece of good news, or sharing three things you are grateful for this week.
