Ever leave a meeting wondering exactly what everyone just accomplished?

Meetings often fail not because people lack intelligence or expertise, but because nobody stops to examine how the group is thinking. This live, interactive class explores why teams get trapped in circular discussions, endless updates, and decisions that never quite become decisions. Designed for executives, managers, and team leaders, the session focuses on recognizing the thinking habits that make meetings unnecessarily long and frustrating.

Through a realistic workplace scenario, you'll explore how unclear questions, hidden assumptions, and competing expectations derail otherwise capable teams. You'll practice distinguishing between a meeting that needs discussion, one that requires a decision, and one that probably shouldn't exist at all. You'll also learn how asking better questions can shift a conversation from exchanging opinions to producing useful outcomes.

By the end, you'll be able to identify one common thinking trap in your meetings and use a practical approach to change it. You'll leave with a simple meeting-reset technique you can apply immediately. Because a full calendar is not evidence of a productive organization.
