The Daily Wake Up Micro Podcast
Business:Entrepreneurship
Yesterday I spoke on how much I hate agendas. Today, I’m going to speak about how much I love agendas. Different from individuals, companies, or movements having hidden or personal agendas, an effective agenda is a list of items to be discussed at a formal meeting. A list everyone can see.
How many of you have been through meetings that were a complete waste of time? When you have an agenda that attendees can see, it keeps everyone on point with the ability to follow along. Start you meeting by referencing your agenda and give a clear objective of what you are going to cover; include the expected outcome of the meeting. By putting everyone on the same page, if an attendee has missed something, they were expecting to receive, they can bring it as a question or clarification.
Having an agenda can be helpful in a one-to-one meeting as well. I’m in sales and after I schedule a discovery meeting with a potential client, I include an agenda in the calendar invite. This accomplishes two things:
1. It shows them I know what I’m talking about
2. They can bring up anything I may have missed prior to the meeting.
