The Art and Energy of Effective Meetings
Bad meetings are easy to run. Good ones take intention, skill, and a feel for energy and momentum.
In this interactive session, we'll explore what separates a meeting people dread from one they leave energized. Drawing on both ancient wisdom traditions and modern meeting design, you'll walk away with a new way of thinking about how to facilitate — and a few tools to put it into practice immediately.
The conversation is shaped by your experiences, insights, and questions. Come ready to share, listen, and reflect with others.
Discussion Facilitator
A former healthcare journalist, Matt Perry is a Somatic Coach mentored by Richard Strozzi of the Strozzi Institute of Embodied Leadership. Influenced by the rising tide of separation and divisiveness in America, he most recently launched The Other Consulting to help leaders, teams and organizations connect across these divides through improved relating, communication, and compassion. His achievements include fathering the world's greatest twins, running ultra marathons, and leading a team of writers to roast California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
