How to Improve Collaboration ​and Connection: Tame the Meetings Monster with Brian Elliott

When you're part of a team, time for deep work when you're at your best can be hard to find. ​Blending time for collaboration with your team with heads-down focus time has huge upsides, but ​also real challenges when it comes to meetings-driven cultures and risks for remote workers being ​"forgotten" in an increasingly hybrid world. Brian will share best practices rooted in real-world ​examples and research on how individuals and teams can blend "synchronous" and "asynchronous" work in ways that ​improve collaboration, productivity and wellbeing. This session covers tactics that help ​individuals and teams be in the flow without being in the room, get control over meetings running ​wild on calendars, build "async" muscles: get more document-driven one step at a time, and create ​cultures and norms that enable boundaries and improve communication.
