I’ve just read a blog called “Five weeeeeeeeird tips for great meetings.” And I think every manager can get some good ideas to spruce up the excitement and make a meeting fun.

1: Open the meeting with a positive round

Many times we start off with complaining about everything that we hate instead of enjoying all the good things about the people we work with.

2: Interrupt the meeting regularly

When you interrupt a meeting and take breaks to clear the mind it does wonders for people’s communication skills.

3: Lose the table

I’ve never had a company meeting without a table, but I would love to try it.

4: Get the body in there

I am a big advocate of not staying seated for too long. It only makes us tired and grumpy.

5: Use strategically placed silence

I’m not sure how well this would go in my company and I don’t think it would work because people would get too uncomfortable. But I would love to try it, and who knows – it might work.

There are many great tips in this blog that can help anyone run a more exciting and prosperous meeting. Isn’t that the point? To accomplish goals, instead of wasting time.
