35
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: Welcome to the New Corner Office, the podcast where we

36
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: share strategies for thriving in the new world of work,

37
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:21,239
Speaker 1: where location and ours are more flexible than in the past.

38
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: Today's tip is to let the first five minutes of

39
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 1: a video conference, be like the overture for the meeting.

40
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: Pick up the major themes and set the tone in

41
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: a compressed way, and you'll create a more cohesive and

42
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: productive whole. If you're like a lot of people, this December,

43
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: you'll watch The Nutcracker, the mesmerizing story bell at set

44
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: to Chaikowski's beloved music. Of course, this year you might

45
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: be watching from the couch instead of in a grand theater,

46
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: but still, from the moment the music begins, listeners are

47
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 1: transported to a Christmas party at Clara's house, a battle

48
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 1: between soldiers and mice, and the magical land of the suites.

49
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 1: The Nutcracker begins with the miniature overture, which were introduced

50
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: to some of the themes and instruments will hear again later.

51
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: Many different ballets or operas begin this way. Composers know

52
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: that how we begin is how we go, and a

53
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: good overture is a preview of what's to come. You

54
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: can do something similar to start your grand productions, otherwise

55
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: known as your meetings. Here's what I mean. The first

56
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: few minutes of a meeting are seldom focused on the

57
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: exact core question that you intend to address. They are

58
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: the opener but they also set the tone and shouldn't

59
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: be treated as a throat clearing throw away moment where

60
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: everyone mumbles something about the weather. Treat it strategically. This

61
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: overture can prepare people for a great session, So step one,

62
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: think about it. An orchestra doesn't just sit down and

63
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: see what happens, and neither should you. Second, find a

64
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: way into your main topic that's in a slightly varied form.

65
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: So for instance, if you're talking about themes for an

66
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: upcoming virtual conference, you might ask people to share one

67
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: cool thing they've experienced in a recent virtual conference or webinar.

68
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 1: You can put this question on the agenda so people

69
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: aren't stomped, well unless they didn't look at the agenda,

70
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: in which case, don't have those people go first. If

71
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 1: you're getting feedback on a grant proposal for a summer

72
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 1: youth program, everyone might share a thirty second summer job

73
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: memory or a camp memory or something along those lines.

74
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: And Third, you want people to act in the overture

75
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 1: as they will in the rest of the meeting. And

76
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: those two examples, people were going to be asked for ideas,

77
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 1: so you want to get them sharing ideas and even

78
00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 1: more Importantly, you want everyone sharing ideas, with in rules

79
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 1: going around the room in turn time limited, and with

80
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 1: people getting used to hearing all voices, everyone else is

81
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 1: getting background on people's perspectives. They are actively listening. That

82
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: sets the tone exactly as you want the meeting to proceed. If,

83
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: on the other hand, you want people's ideas, but you

84
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,119
Speaker 1: start the meeting with a five minute diet tribe against

85
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: something completely unrelated, well people are going to be furtively

86
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 1: cleaning out their inbox and good luck getting ideas later.

87
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: How we start is how we go. An overture doesn't

88
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: last forever, it is just a few minutes, but a

89
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: well executed overture establishes that you have gathered for a purpose,

90
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: The meeting has been thought through as a coherent whole,

91
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: and you have expectations for the group. Maybe not to

92
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 1: play a glockenspield or dance like the sugar Plumb Ferry,

93
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: but everyone will perform their rules and concert together and

94
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 1: create something really cool as a result. And when it

95
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 1: comes to meetings, that is music to my ears. In

96
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,919
Speaker 1: the meantime, this is Laura, Thanks for listening, and here's
