“We keep fixing meetings, but nothing changes.”

People try stuff to make their meetings better.

• Longer agendas.
• Better decks.
• New rules
• Better facilitation
• Clearer goals
• Another tool...

But it's still crickets in there.

"Wake up, people!," leaders often want to scream.

So what to do?

The real solution is both simpler and harder at the same time than all the fixes above.

It's about relationships.

When leaders notice what’s happening between people—who’s holding back, who’s dominating, who’s disengaged—and take action to address it, the whole thing changes.

Connection can't be accidental. It's the currency of strong teams.

Teams with higher connection build trust faster, communicate faster, recover from mistakes more quickly, and make better decisions under pressure.

What are you doing to teach and facilitate authentic connection?

That’s the work.
