Meeting Monsters make online meetings a living horror.
How do you know when you’ve encountered a Meeting Monster?
A Meeting Monster will…
distract people away from the meeting and towards email.
let the crickets loose when you ask a question.
make technology seem ominous and overwhelming.
prod some people to talk too much.
poke at others to say nothing at all.
give you the feeling of exhaustion after back-to-back online meetings.
throw sand in the gears of technology causing breakdowns.
Fortunately, there’s a cure. And it doesn’t take wooden stakes or silver bullets. Not all online meetings have to be life-sucking. They can be engaging, energetic, effective, and even fun!

The explosion of online meetings have enabled us to keep going and opened the way to a greater diversity of people meeting, but they also amplify everything.
