The Proactive Risk PM Weekly

Proactive Over Reactive. Always.

Stop Leading Boring Meetings and Start Leading Engaging Meetings Today! Watch Here

Reader,

This month’s book is worth checking out.

That is, if you lead meetings. Which, if you are a project manager, I know you do.

But do you lead those meetings, effectively? Are they engaging? And do people leave your meetings knowing what they just participated it brought value to their work and the combined work needed to tackle the project?

If you are not sure, Lead Engaging Meetings, by Jeff Shannon is a book worth checking out.

Jeff breaks down how to run the best meetings, giving you tips and tricks for before, during, and after the meeting.

His goal is to ensure both you and the participants get the most out of the meeting.

Now, this book is not focused on those 15 minute stand-ups or on-call meetings you have when a new risk or issue pops up. This book will instead help you with those larger meetings with your senior stakeholders.

Meetings like:

• Kickoff Meeting
• Risk Workshops
• Weekly/Monthly Sponsor Check-in
• Lessons Learned
• Close out
• And many more….

Check out the full article at The Risk Blog or watch the YouTube.

Stay Proactive Over Reactive,

Russ
