The Friday Workbox® Meeting Agenda Course

Long before the widely popular meme started to make its rounds on the internet - I had my own “this meeting could have been an email” moment. And it forever changed the way I look at meetings at Organize 365.

Unfortunately, when I concluded that the meeting I was in could have been an email - I was not the employee in the meeting…I was the business owner running the meeting.

The meeting was supposed to last 30 minutes, and we were in hour 2 (yes - HOUR 2) of the meeting, and NO decisions had been made yet. There was no end in sight. 

Let me set the stage for you so you can understand what a costly mistake this was:

At the end of 2017, I hired seven people in seven weeks to make visible the invisible things that had been in my head and spoken on the Organize 365 podcast for years - like the Sunday Basket®, Friday Workbox, The Paper Solution® Binders, and The Productive Home Solution™. I had been talking about these products and courses for years and it was time to bring them to life with the help of my new team. The seven people who joined the team were all contractors that had been hired for anywhere from 5-10 hours per week.

I was such a novice leader and manager, so I didn’t understand the value of or even know how to prepare for meetings (whether one-on-one, in small groups, or with the whole team). I would often call a meeting EVERY. SINGLE. WEEK. All these contractors were joining at their contractor rates, and then I would verbally process what was done, what needed to be done, and what needed to be done after that.

In hindsight, I now realize that my lack of clarity in these meetings meant that the contractors were probably leaving these meetings with more questions than answers. They would raise questions that I didn’t have answers to, and I was left to go back to the drawing board before my team could even start to make good on my dreams.

You may be the contractor working with a business owner who is not really clear on what they want yet. They just know they want it done. Or maybe you are the business owner who is reading this thinking - oh yeah, that’s me.

It was about a year later that I really started to hone my meeting skills. I started to segment my team and spend as much time (or MORE) planning for meetings as I did conducting them. 

There’s no way around meetings. If you really want to start gaining traction and grow your team and your business to be bigger than you - you’re going to have to get good at meetings. They don’t have to all be “all hands on deck” meetings, and they can’t all be emails. Each meeting has a different role to play inside of the ecosystem as a business. 

At Organize 365, we have identified the meeting structures essential for teams of 15 or less. 

This meeting agenda course will teach you how effective meetings can help you win and grow your business. Meetings are expensive, and through this course, you’ll learn how to make the most of these valuable opportunities with your team.

Course includes:

  • How to create working agendas that actually get updated by your entire team.
  • How to plan the objectives of the meetings.
  • How to structure a weekly meeting cadence that allows employees time and a routine for their pink, purple, blue, and green work each week.
  • How to greenlight and track projects across teams, and the ability to share your progress and/or struggles as we walk through this together.
  • Sample meeting agendas to replicate and use with your team.

The Friday Workbox Meeting Agenda Course also includes 4 live 60-minute Meeting Agenda Quarterly Planning Hours each year with Lisa. These sessions are designed to occur 1-2 weeks before the next Workbox planning day. Helping you think through all the meetings you are a part of and your team is attending each quarter. 

Meeting Agenda Quarterly Planning Hours: will be live-streamed into the Meeting Agenda Community Group at 2:00 pm EST, and a replay will be available for 6 weeks.
