Set Clear Meeting Goals + Objectives.<\/h2>\n<p>If you just stroll into a meeting without knowing why, it\u2019s not going to be a productive meeting. Plain and simple. If you don\u2019t know the goals and objectives prior to walking in, you\u2019ll waste half your time figuring out \u201cwhat we should talk about today.\u201d Before you walk in, know why you\u2019re there. So, identify the purpose of your meeting \u2014 is it for feedback? project updates? career development?<\/p>\n<p>My personal preference for any meeting is to keep it as tight and focused as possible\u2026 And in most cases, that means having no more than a <strong>single<\/strong> major theme or outcome you seek to accomplish by having this meeting.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">2. Prepare an Agenda.<\/h2>\n<p>Structure equals success. Outline the main topics of your meeting ahead of time by jotting down one to three core topics to cover. For example:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Get progress + status update on Widget Project<\/li>\n<li>Discuss challenges + opportunities with Betty Boop using the positivity sandwich method: start positive, ease into challenge-area, close with a positive tone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">3. Review Past Notes.<\/h2>\n<p>Before every meeting I attend, I like to quickly look over any notes I might have taken from the previous meeting, if there was one. Doing this reminds me of any action items from the previous meeting that may be unresolved or in need of follow-up.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Reflection + review drive progress. So, look back at your last meeting and ask yourself: what got done, what didn\u2019t, and what still needs attention? Use your Meeting Planner to pick up right where you left off.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">4. Gather What You Need for the Meeting.<\/h2>\n<p>Bring any relevant reference material along to the meeting to support the discussion: reports, print-outs, data, ideas, and most important of all \u2013 <em>questions<\/em>. Keep your questions and\/or materials organized and ready to go. It\u2019ll help you look sharp and responsible. And it\u2019ll help the meeting run as smooth as butter.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">5. Be Open to Feedback.<\/h2>\n<p>Feedback fosters growth\u2026 Dish out your feedback with empathy + clarity. Receive feedback with grace + gratitude (even if it stings). Approach every meeting with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deanbokhari.com\/growth-mindset\/\" xlink=\"href\">growth mindset<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">6. Listen Actively + Take Notes by Hand.<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019ve taken my training programs on <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.deanbokhari.com\/crucial-conversations-course-preview\/\" xlink=\"href\">Crucial Conversations<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deanbokhari.com\/how-to-win-friends-and-influence-people-course\/\" xlink=\"href\">How to Win Friends + Influence People<\/a>, <\/em>then you already know how important <em>active listening<\/em> is\u2026 It can be the difference between a productive meeting vs a meeting that turns into a sequel of the movie <em>Animal House<\/em>.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Active listening<\/strong> is the practice of being fully present in a conversation. When you\u2019re listening actively, you\u2019re <em>focusing<\/em>, <em>understanding<\/em>, and <em>responding<\/em> thoughtfully to what someone is saying (rather than just hearing their words).<\/li>\n<li>For example: When Andrew says, \u201cI\u2019m feeling overwhelmed with deadlines,\u201d Zohran responds, \u201cIt sounds like you\u2019ve got too much on your plate right now, how can I help?\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Presence is the key to connecting with any conversation partner<\/strong>. Whether you\u2019re holding a 1-on-1 with an employee or running a board meeting full of stakeholders: put the phone away and close the laptop. Pick up a pen and actually listen. <a href=\"#The-pen-is-mightier-than-the-keyboard\" xlink=\"href\">Writing things down by hand helps you understand and retain significantly more than taking notes on a laptop or device.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">7. Close Every Meeting with Next Actions.<\/h2>\n<p>End every meeting with clear next actions you can follow-up and follow-through on. These are things you\u2019ve got to either <em>do<\/em>, <em>delegate<\/em>, or <em>defer<\/em>.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Write down your next actions, and review them in your Meeting Planner at a later time or prior to your next meeting.<\/li>\n<li>Any next actions that you\u2019re delegating should be clearly communicated to the person taking it on.<\/li>\n<li>To delegate like a boss, remember two words: <strong><em>Who<\/em><\/strong> and <strong><em>Due<\/em><\/strong>. Jot down who the action belongs to and when it\u2019s due. <em>Always<\/em> confirm that whoever you\u2019re delegating to understands that they\u2019re now the owner of that action.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-1 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><mark class=\"has-inline-color\" style=\"background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); color: #999999;\">Make every meeting meaningful and productive.<\/mark> With the Meeting Planner.<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><picture decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-137253 sp-no-webp\" style=\" width: 768px; height: auto;\"><source data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.deanbokhari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/01.TheMeetingPlanner-glossy-1024x1024.webp 1024w,https:\/\/www.deanbokhari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/01.TheMeetingPlanner-glossy-300x300.webp 300w,https:\/\/www.deanbokhari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/01.TheMeetingPlanner-glossy-150x150.webp 150w,https:\/\/www.deanbokhari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/01.TheMeetingPlanner-glossy-768x768.webp 768w,https:\/\/www.deanbokhari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/01.TheMeetingPlanner-glossy-504x504.webp 504w,https:\/\/www.deanbokhari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/01.TheMeetingPlanner-glossy-470x470.webp 470w,https:\/\/www.deanbokhari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/01.TheMeetingPlanner-glossy-200x200.webp 200w,https:\/\/www.deanbokhari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/01.TheMeetingPlanner-glossy-1536x1536.webp 1536w,https:\/\/www.deanbokhari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/01.TheMeetingPlanner-glossy.webp 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" type=\"image\/webp\"\/><source data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.deanbokhari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/01.TheMeetingPlanner-glossy-1024x1024.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.deanbokhari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/01.TheMeetingPlanner-glossy-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.deanbokhari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/01.TheMeetingPlanner-glossy-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.deanbokhari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/01.TheMeetingPlanner-glossy-768x768.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.deanbokhari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/01.TheMeetingPlanner-glossy-504x504.webp 504w, https:\/\/www.deanbokhari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/01.TheMeetingPlanner-glossy-470x470.webp 470w, https:\/\/www.deanbokhari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/01.TheMeetingPlanner-glossy-200x200.webp 200w, https:\/\/www.deanbokhari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/01.TheMeetingPlanner-glossy-1536x1536.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.deanbokhari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/01.TheMeetingPlanner-glossy.webp 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" type=\"image\/webp\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.deanbokhari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/01.TheMeetingPlanner-glossy-1024x1024.webp\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-137253 sp-no-webp\" style=\"object-fit: cover; width: 768px; height: auto;\" alt=\"How-to-have-productive-meetings\" height=\"1024\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.deanbokhari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/01.TheMeetingPlanner-glossy-1024x1024.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.deanbokhari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/01.TheMeetingPlanner-glossy-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.deanbokhari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/01.TheMeetingPlanner-glossy-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.deanbokhari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/01.TheMeetingPlanner-glossy-768x768.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.deanbokhari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/01.TheMeetingPlanner-glossy-504x504.webp 504w, https:\/\/www.deanbokhari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/01.TheMeetingPlanner-glossy-470x470.webp 470w, https:\/\/www.deanbokhari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/01.TheMeetingPlanner-glossy-200x200.webp 200w, https:\/\/www.deanbokhari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/01.TheMeetingPlanner-glossy-1536x1536.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.deanbokhari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/01.TheMeetingPlanner-glossy.webp 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><sup><em>The Meeting Planner by Dean Bokhari \u2022 125Method.com<\/em><\/sup><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>If you\u2019re sick of having or holding unproductive meetings, the <a href=\"https:\/\/125method.com\/products\/meeting-planner\" xlink=\"href\">Meeting Planner<\/a> is for you.
