Speaker 1: reclaim your time. Listen to Time Out a fair Play
Speaker 1: podcast on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or
Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts. We've all felt left out,
Speaker 1: and for people who moved to this country, that feeling
Speaker 1: lasts more than a moment. We can change that. Learn
Speaker 1: how it Belonging begins with us dot org. Brought to
Speaker 1: you by the AD Council. Good morning, This is Laura.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the New Corner Office, the podcast where we
Speaker 1: share strategies for thriving in the new world of work
Speaker 1: where location and ours are more flexible than in the past.
Speaker 1: Today's tip is to let the first five minutes of
Speaker 1: a video conference be like the overture for the meeting.
Speaker 1: Pick up the major themes and set the tone in
Speaker 1: a compressed way, and you'll create a more cohesive and
Speaker 1: productive whole. If you're like a lot of people, this December,
Speaker 1: you'll watch The Nutcracker, the mesmerizing story ballet set to
Speaker 1: Tchaikowski's beloved music. Of course, this year you might be
Speaker 1: watching from the couch instead of in a grand theater,
Speaker 1: but still from the moment the music begins, listeners are
Speaker 1: transported to a Christmas party at Clara's house, a battle
Speaker 1: between soldiers and mice, and the magical land of the suites.
Speaker 1: The Nutcracker begins with the miniature overture, which were introduced
Speaker 1: to some of the themes and instruments will hear again later.
Speaker 1: Many different ballets or operas begin this way. Composers know
Speaker 1: that how we begin is how we go, and a
Speaker 1: good overture is a preview of what's to come. You
Speaker 1: can do something similar to start your grand productions, otherwise
Speaker 1: known as your meetings. Here's what I mean. The first
Speaker 1: few minutes of a meeting are seldom focused on the
Speaker 1: exact core question that you intend to address. They are
Speaker 1: the opener, but they also set the tone and shouldn't
Speaker 1: be treated as a throat clearing throw away moment where
Speaker 1: everyone mumbles something about the weather. Treat it strategically. This
Speaker 1: overture can prepare people for a great session. So step one,
Speaker 1: think about it. An orchestra doesn't just sit down and
Speaker 1: see what happens, and neither should you. Second, find a
Speaker 1: way into your main topic that's in a slightly varied form.
Speaker 1: So for instance, if you're talking about themes for an
Speaker 1: upcoming virtual conference, you might ask people to share one
Speaker 1: cool thing they've experienced in a recent virtual conference or webinar.
Speaker 1: You can put this question on the agenda so people
Speaker 1: aren't stomped, well unless they didn't look at the agenda,
Speaker 1: in which case, don't have those people go first. If
Speaker 1: you're getting feedback on a grant proposal for a summer
Speaker 1: youth program, everyone might share a thirty second summer job
Speaker 1: memory or a camp memory or something along those lines.
Speaker 1: And Third, you want people to act in the overture
Speaker 1: as they will in the rest of the meeting. And
Speaker 1: those two examples, people were going to be asked for ideas,
Speaker 1: so you want to get them sharing ideas. And even
Speaker 1: more importantly, you want everyone sharing ideas within rules going
Speaker 1: around the room in turn time limited, and with people
Speaker 1: getting used to hearing all voices, everyone else is getting
Speaker 1: background on people's perspectives. They are actively listening. That sets
Speaker 1: the tone exactly as you want the meeting to proceed. If,
Speaker 1: on the other hand, you want people's ideas, but you
Speaker 1: start the meeting with a five minute diet tribe against
Speaker 1: something completely unrelated, well people are going to be furtively
Speaker 1: cleaning out their inbox and good luck getting ideas later.
Speaker 1: How we start is how we go. An overture doesn't
Speaker 1: last forever. It is just a few minutes, but a
Speaker 1: well executed overture establishes that you have gathered for a purpose,
Speaker 1: The meeting has been thought through as a coherent whole,
Speaker 1: and you have expectations for the group. Maybe not to
Speaker 1: play a glockenspield or dance like the sugar culmb Ferry,
Speaker 1: but everyone will perform their rules and concert together and
Speaker 1: create something really cool as a result. And when it
Speaker 1: comes to meetings, that is music to my years. In
Speaker 1: the meantime, this is aur Thanks for listening, and here's
