Other sources report that 92% of employees find most meetings ineffective and a waste of their time. As professional behavior analysts, we spend a fair amount of time participating in and running meetings. In this workshop, we will review how to assess your schedule of meetings and the anatomy of a good meeting. We will discuss strategies to transform mundane and unproductive meetings into engaging and effective ones using a behavior analysis approach. We will talk about, and practice using practical strategies to manage time, organize content, and establish clear goals and expectations for meetings. We will also examine how to leverage behavioral principles to enhance communication, increase participation, and maintain accountability among meeting participants. Learning Objectives: Attendees will be able to identify at least 2 risks of running ineffective meetings, identify at least 2 strategies for running an effective meeting, describe at least 2 common problem behaviors that occurs during meetings and a related strategy that they could use to address the problem.
