Unlock Better Meetings with 'The Meeting Room'
|
Hi Reader, After 31 years of leading teams in the energy sector, I wrote the book I wish had existed when I started. It's called The Meeting Room: Navigating the Complexity of Being a Team Lead. This book is for anyone who's ever walked out of a meeting thinking "there has to be a better way." It's 25 practical rules for making meetings work, told through characters you'll recognize from your own conference rooms—the first-time team lead, the know-it-all, the quiet one, and a mentor helping a new team lead figure it all out. Inside the book, you'll find:
The Meeting Room launches Thursday, November 28. Pre-order the Amazon Kindle version now to receive it on launch day: https://a.co/d/fmBaKpu As a thank you, I've created a discussion guide you can use with your team or book club. It includes reflection questions for each section, facilitation tips, and prompts for applying the rules in your own organization. For immediate download here: https://bit.ly/3K8rdRd If you've been following my Rebecca's Rules series on Facebook or LinkedIn, this is where it all comes together. If you've ever wondered how to make your meetings better, this is your roadmap. We've all been there—the team lead trying to figure it out, the facilitator navigating impossible dynamics, the leader who knows something's broken but doesn't know how to fix it. The Meeting Room is my attempt to make it easier for all of us. Thank you for being part of this journey. |

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...
Hi Reader, I’ve been thinking about the phrase I hear most often after I speak. “Our meetings aren't working.” Let’s get more precise. Meetings don’t fail because people are careless. If I walked into your recurring meeting and asked, “What will exist at the end of this hour that does not exist now?” would the answer be clear? Not a discussion. Not alignment. Not a good conversation. A tangible product. A decision. A documented commitment. A prioritized list. A defined problem statement. If...
