Hi Reader, Let’s try something. After my book The Meeting Room began circulating, readers kept telling me the same thing: They recognized themselves in the characters. The person quietly tracking the real conversation while others were talking. The leader trying to keep the room moving. The one who asks the question everyone else is avoiding. The person trying to keep the room calm. Every person in a meeting plays a role. It's not about "good" versus "bad." Just patterns in how people show up when the work gets real. So I turned those patterns into a short quiz. It takes about ten minutes and reveals the meeting role you tend to play in the room. Most people are surprised by their result. And once you see it, you start noticing how it shapes the decisions, tensions, and momentum in your meetings. You can take the quiz here👉 https://meetingpersona.com/ When you get your result, hit reply and tell me what you got. I’m always curious how accurately people feel it captures their role in the room. P.S. The personas come directly from the characters in The Meeting Room. If you’ve read the book, you may recognize them immediately. |
I possess a deep passion for helping individuals unlock their leadership potential and make a positive impact on the world.

Not a good conversation. A tangible product. A decision. A documented commitment. A prioritized list. A defined problem statement. If...

Meetings are not neutral. They either produce a clear decision or they quietly weaken your authority. Most leaders run meetings on habit. Agenda. Updates. Discussion. Then the same issue resurfaces next week under a different name. The visible cost is time. The hidden cost is credibility. When decisions are vague and ownership is unclear, execution slows. People look elsewhere for clarity. The Lead the Meeting Founding Cohort begins March 10. 15 seats. 12 weeks. Live implementation. You will...
