Most of us are never taught how to plan a meeting. The Meeting Medic is here to change that.
It turns out, how we plan matters just as much as how we implement the plan.
Meetings are the single greatest opportunity we have to collaborate, innovate, and understand each other. So why do we leave so many feeling like we just wasted our time?
Whether you have an entire agenda to review, or a blank page waiting to be filled, The Meeting Medic helps you transform your meeting into more that the sum of it’s parts. Book your free 15-minute consultation now!
Creating thoughtful agendas comes down to knowing what questions we should be asking ourselves when we’re creating them.
Together, let’s intentionally design a meeting where connection, great ideas, absolute clarity, and designating clear next steps happens every time.
The risks of poorly run meetings impact far more than just productivity. They break trust within groups and especially with leaders. If the meeting truly could have been an email – resentment will build.
You don’t have to take my word for it, take the Harvard Business Reviews:
“We surveyed 182 senior managers in a range of industries: 65% said meetings keep them from completing their own work. 71% said meetings are unproductive and inefficient. 64% said meetings come at the expense of deep thinking. 62% said meetings miss opportunities to bring the team closer together.“

Well hey hi hello there, I’m Claire! I’ve spent the past five years working at Facilitator Cards learning everything I possibly can about facilitation, what makes facilitators successful, and analyzing how to create dynamic agendas that keep everyone focused, engaged, and participating.
Now that I understand what facilitation is, I see it everywhere.
Everywhere, except meetings.
I’m here to make the bold statement that I don’t think meetings can or should be emails.
Whether you’re a facilitator, manager, leader, administrator, or just someone who is really into communicating effectively with groups, let’s work together to make each agenda the best version it can be.
Meetings are the lifeblood of every organization. Making decisions, coming up with ideas, and getting a chance to make connections with colleagues is key to a thriving workplace.
