MenuWhat are the best practices and policies to have productive meetings?
My client's management team is not very good at holding effective meetings.
Answers
We need to start with the outcome in mind; if meeting facilitator knows what he/she would like to accomplish then meeting would be more productive.
Basics are:
1. Create an agenda (and attach to it) and let it know
2. Be prepare
3. Listen to understand
4, Have an assigment to participans as a follow up
5. Stand up meetings are more productive.
Assuming that you are talking to your client who's project you are working on..
Great question!
Some things that have helped me so far,
1) Revise the topics that were covered during the last meeting and revisit them again. Have we fulfilled our previous commitments ? if not , what are the challenges? This would be a good place to start and understand if your understandings about the project are correct. In most cases client's idea Vs our execution do not match due difference in understanding.
2) Have a prioritised agenda on things to be covered in current meeting.
3) Identify diversion in conversations and get back to the point.
4) Listen well, acknowledge and Don't hesitate to clarify your understanding ? either on call or by email.
5) Always document your meeting by email and get confirmation.
Last but not the least whenever you find a situation that needs appreciation, Always appreciate the other person's efforts
I hope these help,
Please don't hesitate if you have any further questions.

Create a company culture of presence in communication. We are socialized to talk "at" each other instead of "with" each other. This failure in communication can be attributed to an unconcious desire to seek control in every situation. This is rooted in fear and is not a productive means of engaging with other human beings.
Translating a message efficiently begins with a harmonious state of mind.

How can you start a blog and make it popular within a month?
This depends on your definition of popular, but I can help you out. You're not going to be getting thousands of hits per month, but you can gain some popularity. 1. You're going to need to publish two posts per week, so you better be ready to write. One for your blog, and one for someone else's. 2. You won't be publishing any "round up" content, like 10 best tools for "blank". You're going to need to deliver ACTUAL value here. 3. Make sure that the topic of your blog is first about something people are actively looking for online. User Google Trends to test out some keywords. 4. Use BuzzSumo.com to search for keywords of blog posts and check out how many people are sharing those. Take a look at the most popular posts and then out do them. Write an even more comprehensive and valuable post than that one. 5. Build your email list as quickly as you can. Use Appsumo.com and install their list builder app. 6. Provide a content upgrade for each post. For example, an eBook, a checklist, anything that relates to the value of the article you wrote. Exchange the free item for their subscription to your email list. 7. Email your list once per week with a new article you just published. Ask them to share it if they like it. 8. Guest post for the second article you wrote each week. Find popular, related blogs and pitch them a post idea. Link back to your blog, but to a landing page that specifically outlines the value of signing up for your email list. OR 8a. Link back to a landing page that gives away content bonuses that you mentioned in the guest post. 9. Run a contest where you give something away related to your blog topic. (don't give away an iPad if you're a real estate agent, you want to attract subscribers that have to do with your niche.) 10. Die from exhaustion.CM
