There was a time when our team had so many meetings it felt like we were working to prep for meetings more than working on the business itself. They lacked purpose. They rambled. And everyone walked out wondering, “So… what now?”

Here’s the painful truth: Meetings without structure or outcomes aren’t just annoying, they’re costly. They waste time, erode momentum, and frustrate high performers. It’s not that meetings are the problem. It’s how we run them. When we fixed our structure, we fixed our results.

We introduced our Monday Kickstart WIP and everything changed. Now our team knows what matters for the week ahead, what could derail us, and what support is needed across departments. It’s high clarity, high impact and fast.

If you’re feeling like meetings are sucking the energy out of your week, I get it. But what if, instead, your team looked forward to that meeting because it gave them what they needed to succeed? Direction. Connection. Momentum.

The Pain Point: Too many meetings. Too few decisions. Zero traction.

What Happened When We Fixed It:

• Teams align faster
• Priorities are clear
• Risks are flagged early
• Everyone leaves with purpose, not just updates

Here’s How you can make the same shift:

1. Cancel unnecessary meetings (trust me, you’ll survive).
2. Introduce a 45-minute Monday Kickstart WIP:
   • Top 3 Priorities
   • Risks & Roadblocks
   • Wins & Shoutouts
   • Cross-Team Updates
3. Use a timer. Keep it tight.
4. Devices down. Focus up.
5. Track decisions and next steps.

Don’t just gather people together and hope for clarity. Build a repeatable rhythm that drives alignment, creates ownership, and reduces wasted time.

Your meetings should be where performance kicks off, not where momentum goes to die.
