Yes, we are talking about that good old “town-hall meeting” where everyone gathers for what often turns out to be another vague, boring speech. {YAWN}

In this vlog, Deliver High Impact “Town Hall” Meetings in the Workplace, @lornerubis and I give some snack-sized content on how to move from mundane to motivated by developing your town-hall meeting into an opportunity to gain trust in the organization.

Traditional town hall meetings offer no transparency, no dialogue, no opportunity to collaborate, just another push of information that could’ve happened much faster in an email.

Authentic conversations and consistency with values build trust. Lorne and I talk about reinventing meetings to draw the community into co-creating the agendas. And how getting employees involved will improve your transparency, because it can’t all be good news, and they need to know to invest.


Here are the three takeaways you’ll get from this episode:

  1. Set aside “the way we always do it” to commit to real-time, consistent, and authentic sharing of information.
  2. Engage your audience, allow it to co-create the meeting, and let the meeting evolve naturally.
  3. But still design the experience to guide what happens before, during and after the meeting.

Here’s to disrupting sameness and achieving #betterwork.
