On meetings
July 7, 2008
I really enjoyed this from Johnnie (including the pic).
It’s funny how we instantly think of meetings as boring and pointless. I recently asked a group to do a round of introductions by recounting the best and worst meetings they’d been to. The consensus seemed to be that the more formal the meeting the more likely it was to enter the worst camp.
My favourite answer for best meeting was the guy who said “meeting my girlfriend”. That disrupted the usual trance in which we evaluate meetings as if they are only the boring things we do at work
Very nice anecdote. Would it work if we get a bunch of good practitioners together and come up with our favourite moment or excercise or technique, and why?
Jeremy – would that constitute a meeting in its own right 🙂
