E011_How team agreements can stop the busy-ness and improve your life

Send us a text

Today, we chat about the busyness that has taken over the world of work and just life in general, and ask the question:

How do people get anything done?

Meetings are being booked back-to-back without any breaks, leaving no time for basic human needs like going to the bathroom, getting some refreshment, or doing whatever you need to do.

We are not blocking out time for deep work, thinking and effectiveness, and nobody is stopping to think about what justice or injustice is being done to their current moment or to the moment they are going into.

Because we are just not present.

Listen in as we talk about the Hamster Wheel and refer to a section of Seth’s Blog titled:  But first, we need to talk about it.

We also discuss Team Agreements in relation to meetings
and ask the following questions:

• Do we really need this?
• What is the purpose?
• Is it a formal or informal meeting?
• Is it for data sharing or status updates versus relational?
• Is having a meeting the best use of our time?
• Can it be done in a different way?

We jump into a conversation about: The Power of ‘NO’ 
and impart a few nuggets of wisdom before heading into our Emotional Gem for the day.

Thanks for listening!
