Ready-2-Go Meeting Plan – on communication

You have to be a bit brave to use this one.

Read In the Dark for yourself first.

Brave enough to share it and discuss it with others?

If so:

In advance of the meeting, send an email to all participants that includes a link to In the Dark.

If there isn’t time for this, just read the In the Dark out loud to the group.

Then ask the question:

1.  In what ways do we keep our customers in the dark?

2.  What is the danger?

3.  What could we do instead?

4.  In what ways do we keep each other in the dark?

5.  What is the danger?

6.  What could we do instead?

Ready-2-Go Meeting – especially for people in sales

October 27, 2009 · Filed Under Be a Better Manager · Comment 

Here’s a quick meeting segment – perfect to include with your weekly staff meeting.

I’ve used it with groups of realtors, financial advisors and advertising executives. I’m sure it would be helpful for other groups as well.

Show this quote* on the wall or screen. 

Ask this question:

“ What’s scary about your job?’

Make a group list on the white board or flip chart.

Next ask this question:

“What would be the the benefit of overcoming these fears?”

And then ask:  “What can you do to “deal” with these scary things?”

Wrap up the discussion by posting this suggestion* on the screen.

After the meeting, email one or both links to them so that they can post on their computer screen as a reminder.

*Note:  To enlarge image of quote, click on it.

Ready-2-Go Meeting – on Customer Service

Here’s a quick meeting segment – perfect to include with your weekly staff meeting.

Great way to heighten awareness of customer service.  Maybe even uncover some scary situations.

It’s based on an article called :  Boo!  Are you chasing your customers away?

E-mail the link BOO! Are you chasing customers away? to everyone and ask them to read the article in advance.

Or you can skip that part and simply read the the article outloud at your meeting.

Then lead a group discussion based on the questions at the end of the article.

Or if you have a group of 10 or more, you’ll get more input if you divided them into smaller groups for discussion.

Then have each group share.

This adds time to the meeting segment, but it also adds depth.

Take immediate action on as many ideas as possible.

Make note of all others.  More discussion may be needed on these later.

Feel free to embellish the theme by:

One last thing - dig deep, uncover some skeletons and have fun.

Boo!  Are you chasing your customers away?

Happy Take Back Your Time Day

October 24, 2009 · Filed Under 2 Little Time · Comment 

And Happy Birthday, Teresa!

I hope you like your present.

And I hope you take it back.

I hope all of you take it back.

Celebrate Take Back Your Time Day by taking the time to do something you’ve been wanting to do – even if it’s for only ten minutes.

In addition - if you typically rush around all day,

walk slower.

Drive slower.

Look at the trees swaying in the breeze against the Carolina blue sky.

Do something that brings you joy.

Smile.

Laugh.

Take time to enjoy your precious present.

Your time…take it back!

October 22, 2009 · Filed Under 2 Little Time · Comment 

Have you decided how you will observe  Take Back Your Time Day?

Are you ready to enjoy your present?

A  while back, I read about a poll which revealed that 65% of people spend their leisure time doing things they would prefer not to do.

Do you find that sad?  And maddening?

Let’s face it…we all have some things we would prefer not to do.

Laundry and litter boxes come to mind.

But wouldn’t it be nice if we were spending MOST of our leisure time doing things we really WANT to do?

You like that idea?

What is it that you’d like to do?

Paint?   Tae Kwon Do?   Play the sax?   Yoga?   Eat lunch with your child at school?

Make a list of all those things you wish you had time to do.

Now choose one thing. Just one.    And work it in to your plan for Saturday.  Even if it’s just for 10 minutes.  Write it on your calendar.  Just like you would a doctor appointment or a meeting with your boss.

Now DO it.

In addition - if you typically rush around all day,

walk slower.

Drive slower.

Look at the trees swaying in the breeze against the Carolina blue sky.

Do something that brings you joy.

Smile.

Laugh.

Take time to enjoy your precious present.
