How to fix meetings (w/ Master Fixer Priya Parker)

Studies show that companies would benefit from having fewer and better meetings. So how can you turn your workplace gatherings from time-wasters to productivity boosters? In this episode, Anne and Frances are joined by Priya Parker—acclaimed speaker, facilitator, and best-selling author of The Art of Gathering—to unlock the true power of bringing people together. They brainstorm helpful tips for planning and facilitating great meetings, emphasize the importance of asking good questions, and explain why being “chill” is often detrimental to leadership.FollowHosts: Anne Morriss (@annemorriss | LinkedIn: @anne-morriss), Frances Frei (@francesxfrei | LinkedIn: @francesfrei) Guest: Priya Parker (Instagram: @priyaparker) Linkshttps://anneandfrances.com/https://www.priyaparker.com/The Art of Gathering bookSubscribe to TED Instagram: @tedYouTube: @TEDTikTok: @tedtoksLinkedIn: @ted-conferencesWebsite: ted.comPodcasts: ted.com/podcastsFor the full text transcript, visit ted.com/podcasts/fixable-transcriptsFor the full text transcript, visit ted.com/podcasts/fixable-transcriptsWant to help shape TED’s shows going forward?
