Making the Most of Meetings
Meetings are the shared spaces where insight, collaboration, and forward motion become possible. Whether you’re gathering the entire staff monthly, connecting with families quarterly, guiding your board through annual decisions, or conducting one-on-ones, meetings serve as the central space where information is shared, problems are explored, and decisions take shape. Because so much of your leadership happens in these moments, skillful facilitation isn’t optional—it’s essential. Making the Most of Meetings offers practical, easy-to-apply strategies to help you transform meetings from something you “get through” into something that genuinely moves your program forward. This book shows you how to accomplish more in less time—and enjoy the process along the way.
