“Consider time-boxing complex topics and hearing feedback around the room one at a time, so that those who feel less comfortable in group settings have a designated time to speak up.”
Noah Levin
Design Director at Figma
“Designate a cadence to check in on each of your action items’ champions and don’t forget to send out a survey following the brainstorm to collect feedback on the session.”
Courtney Symons
Lead Writer at Shopify
“Every Monday, each team lead sends out a report that includes that week’s goals and metrics. We all read each report, make comments, ask questions, and prepare for the team meeting.”
Steli Efti
CEO at Close
“On many occasions, I’ve laughed so hard during our stand-ups that tears have come from my eyes. It’s just a great time and something I look forward to every week. Meetings don’t have to suck. They can be fun.”
Jake Jorgovan
