If you think you have a lot of meetings, talk to Google VP of Search Products, Marissa Mayer. She’s in over 70 meeting every week. Yet, she credits her meeting structure for leading to some of Google’s most innovative ideas.
In a recent BusinessWeek article (“How to run a meeting like Google“), Mayer lists her six steps to running successful meetings:
1. Set a firm agenda
2. Take notes
3. Carve out micro-meetings
4. Hold office hours (me: great idea for hard to reach executives)
5. Discourage politics, use data
6. Stick to the clock

First thing’s first… Our CMO, Jackie Yeaney, posted this fantastic blog post on Fast Company, and I couldn’t agree more. All signs for me point to Meeting Maestro. Have you figured out what kind of meeting personality you are?

Do you love meetings? I love meetings. Let me tell you why.
- I live in San Francisco. My teams are in Georgia, Texas, Kansas, Colorado, New Jersey, and all over Europe and Asia Pac. Virtual communication – email, chat, sms, web and audio meetings are my primary form of communication with my peers.

In 2005 it was reported that the average American spends over 100 hours in traffic delays every year. That’s more than the average two weeks (80 hours) of vacation most workers take each year.
A recent study in the New York Times shows the effects of this burnout and how it can spill over at home in the form of arguments, stress, and bad moods.
Time is the most precious commodity, isn’t it? Think what you would do if you could have that 100 hours back. Or even if you could simply avoid the burnout associated with the “rat race” commute. Could you spend more time with your family? Could you perform better at your job?

Are you finding it difficult to create the rapport virtually that you have when you make a face-to-face presentation?
Uncomfortable that you are missing your prospect’s nonverbal cues, so you can’t sense their reaction and adjust in real time?
With budgets tight there is high demand for virtual meetings – both audio and web. And while these tools allow professionals to connect instantly over long distances for a fraction of the cost of getting on a plane (not to mention the hassle,) one has to agree that the ability to read guests’ facial expressions and body language is missing.

Does the thought of hosting a high-profile audio or web conference make you nervous? Have you ever thought, “This event must go flawlessly … or else!”? Or else, your job will be in jeopardy, or else analysts won’t respond favorably, or else you won’t get the media attention your company needs. If you’re hosting a conferencing event, chances are, you have a lot at stake! So how do you take the “or else” fear out of hosting a conference call?
