How effective are your meetings?

Posted on by Gary Metcalfe CMgr, FCMI, FIC

How many times, before the pandemic, did you come out of a meeting and think…..

That was a good meeting

I really found that useful

Or was it……

What was the point of that?

That’s 3 hours of my time I’ll never get back.

So what has changed? During the pandemic we have moved meetings online and there’s more and more and more of them.

How have you made them effective? Or is it just the same old, same old?

Please share your thoughts and ideas….

What frame of mind are you in at the moment?

Learning Styles -v- Multiple Intelligences

Many of us will have heard of learning styles and the preferred way we like to learn. Yes, they are preferences so don’t be placed in a box. You usually have more than one preferred style, a mix is good.

You may have come across ‘Blended learning’ but it’s not a mix of online and face to face learning, it is a mix of learning styles to meet many desired preferences of learning.

But, if you look at the image above and look at the work of Howard Gardner: ‘Frames of Mind The Theory of Multiple Intelligences’ (1983) it all starts to make sense. It’s all about how our brain processes and retains, then recalls data.

So stop being a pragmatist, theorist, reflector and/or activist and use your multiple intelligences…..
