Meetings that end
on time, with
decisions attached.
A four-session workshop series for team leaders who want agendas that respect people's calendars, facilitation that balances quiet and dominant voices, and a written record of what was actually decided.
Decision Log
Templates included in every session pack
Four problems, four sessions
Each session addresses one recurring meeting problem reported by team leaders, with a practical framework you can apply the same week.
Agenda design
Structuring agendas around outcomes rather than topics, with time-boxing that reflects the actual value of each item to the people in the room.
Facilitation technique
Practical methods for drawing out quieter contributors and managing dominant voices without singling anyone out or creating awkwardness.
Async written briefs
Replacing round-the-table status updates with short written briefs circulated beforehand, freeing meeting time for discussion and decisions.
Decision logging
A simple template for recording what was decided, who owns it, and by when, so decisions don't quietly dissolve after the call ends.
Structured like a dashboard, not a lecture
Every session pairs a short framework with a working template you apply to a real meeting from your own team the same week.
Agenda Design
Build agendas with time allocations tied to decision weight. Learn the difference between an information item and a decision item, and why mixing them causes overruns.
90 minutesFacilitation for Every Voice
Techniques for structured turn-taking, round-robin prompts, and gently redirecting conversations that one person has come to dominate.
90 minutesAsync Briefs Over Status Rounds
A written brief format that replaces verbal status updates, tested against common objections like "but people won't read it".
90 minutesDecision Logs & the Thirty-Day Audit
Setting up a lightweight decision log your team will actually maintain, plus the structure of the thirty-day meeting audit challenge you run after the series ends.
90 minutesThe thirty-day meeting audit
After the four sessions, participants run a self-directed thirty-day audit of their own recurring meetings: tracking start and finish times, attendance necessity, and whether each meeting produced a logged decision. It's a way of testing whether the frameworks actually changed anything, using your own data rather than someone else's case study.
- Daily two-minute log entry, no special software required
- A simple worksheet comparing week one against week four
- Optional peer check-in for accountability, entirely voluntary
What each ninety minutes actually covers
Time-boxing by decision weight
Why a ten-minute agenda item and a sixty-minute agenda item need different preparation, not just different clocks.
Structured turn-taking
A rotation method that gives quieter contributors a predictable moment to speak without singling them out.
The one-page async brief
A format short enough that people actually read it before the meeting starts, tested across several team sizes.
Decision log fields that matter
Four columns, not fourteen: what was decided, who owns it, by when, and where to find the detail.
Four sessions. Ninety minutes each. One meeting culture that actually shifts.
Sessions run online in small cohorts so facilitation practice sections stay workable. Details on upcoming intakes are available on request.
