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. |

Through the journey of Joan Harper—a first-time team lead—you’ll see how chaos turns into clarity and how conflict becomes a spark for creativity. It’s not theory. It’s what leadership feels like when it finally clicks....
Hi friends, We’ve all sat through them — meetings that drain energy, stall decisions, and leave everyone wondering, couldn’t this have been an email?

Hi friends, I wanted to take a moment to share where I am on this wild, beautiful journey with my new book:The Meeting Room. The manuscript is in its final stage of editing (cue the deep exhale).

Writing this book has stretched me in every possible way — creatively, emotionally, and spiritually. But every...
