Hold Successful Meetings

Meetings allow us to bring people together to inspire each other, solve problems, decide and make a difference. Yet, we all spend too much time in dull, frustrating meetings, where little is achieved and even less is followed up on afterwards. Whether virtual or in-person, we often find ourselves in meetings that interrupt our work rather than help us make progress.

In Hold Successful Meetings, Penguin Expert Guide, Executive coach and former Google leader Caterina Kostoula will give you the tools to turn your meetings into one of the most enjoyable and result-driving parts of your work.

Including case studies from companies that are innovating in this space - from Amazon's 'Two Pizza Rule', where Jeff Bezos will only hold meetings in which two pizzas will feed the entire group to Richard Branson's infamous stand up meetings to Google's meetings memo, Kostoula will reveal useful advice and practical tips to make sure your meetings - whether physical or virtual - hit the mark every time.

Her unique framework will equip you to hold fewer, more purposeful meetings that are inclusive and fulfilling for all participants. People will leave your meetings inspired by the value you created together and ready to make an impact.
