Making the Most of (Online) Meetings

“Oh, yay! Another video meeting!” – said nobody this summer.  And yet, is your work calendar somehow full of Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Skype meetings that just aren’t as engaging or productive as “real” meetings?  Or, on the opposite spectrum, are video meetings absent from your work culture for fears ranging from technology mishaps to bad hair days?

We hear you!  At Sharp Insight we’ve run on Zoom since 2016 so we thought we knew what “a lot” of video meetings felt like… and then COVID-19 hit.  Whew!  What’s helped us get through?  Five questions we try to ask ourselves before scheduling our online meetings.  We hope these will help you and your team plan ahead so that you can maximize your shared screen time – and we’d love to hear what else has worked for you in making the most of your online meetings.  Zoom on!
