Listen on:

So, review what makes any meeting work better. You can download my meeting planning worksheet to help guide you through the planning process. Better online meetingsA couple steps for getting comfortable leading online meetings Plan ahead![]() This is important for any meeting but especially important when you also have to manage the technology you are using. As a first step, finishing the phrase – “By the end of this meeting, we will have XYZ” is a great place to start. Online this is even more important. You will need to plan what tools you are using. You will need to make sure everyone can access the documents you will be referring to during the meeting, the files or system you will be using to capture notes and brainstorms, etc. Also plan for a lower tech plan B. Educate yourselfYou need to familiarize with the systems you are using to run the meeting. Take some time to play with the system before you pull the group together. Consider testing some features with a colleague and see what you can “break.”
