This is the first programme
to specifically address improving
the culture of meetings
You have brilliant people in your business – does your meeting culture capitalise on that?
If you resonate with some of the following you will find it interesting to talk to us:
-
I struggle to know how to include everyone in meetings.
-
I'm unconfident leading meetings virtually.
-
What am I missing in needing to be more inclusive in how we work?
-
How can we build greater connection working in a hybrid format?
-
My heart sinks when I look at my diary, the back-to-backs are insane.
-
Meetings get dominated by the same people.
-
I go to too many 'update' meetings, it's boring.
-
We need more challenge and useful debate in our meetings
-
I rely on meetings to be boring so I can get other work done.
We can help you change this.
How it works
We're all human and there are lots of ways we resist change - at Drum we have stripped out as much of that as we can with just enough materials and as little instruction as possible and aimed to be very useful - and the feedback is people love that.
We have worked this very effectively with teams and departments.
We can deconstruct our process to work for your business.
Contact ginny@leaderdrums.com for more information on how it works.
Participant feedback
Picture a room of people, about 25, who are in different teams in a department. They've given
feedback that meetings are a challenge both with them and across the business.
Here's what they said after spending just one day with us
“[the Drum work] will enhance meetings. It makes people think about meeting etiquette, structure, and attendance.
It also is a great equaliser when dealing with management and the power, each individual has to come to their own solutions that might not be what the manager expected, and autonomy can really help bring about culture change and new ideas.”
"If you're having challenges with large group meetings having one or two people dominate conversations and not hearing from others, these techniques can help with collaborating and creating connections."
"[Drum for Meetings] really leads you to see how impactful certain engagement tactics are and how important they are.
Leads you, rather than just telling you."
"The workshop really provides you with a good understanding of how to be present in a meeting and how to make people feel heard; as well as helping to shed a light on your current approach to meetings as a joiner or leader."
"If you would like to ensure you are looking at a situation from all angles before committing time, money and/or resources (get it done right the first time), DRUM is for you."
"[Drum for Meetings] will give you a chance to bond with your team and come out closer and more productive.
It will give you a chance to really think about issues you or your team are having and ways to help fix them."
"Small changes can make a big impact. Beyond the implementation in the workplace, I can just see those questions in the book working in so many situations in life.
The idea of letting people talk and come to their own solutions, or being challenged with a simple question like, 'is there anything missing?' can really shift how people perceive you or how they think."
"I think it enhances meetings. It makes people think about meeting etiquette, structure, and attendance.
It also is a great equaliser when dealing with management and the power each individual has to come to their own solutions that might not be what the manager expected or even wanted, but autonomy can really help bring about culture change and new ideas."
